I have been a Canopy user for several years now and they truly care about their customers. I switched to Canopy because they were able to offer all the services I needed for my practice in one application.

Whether you want the entire Practice Management suite or prefer to implement modules gradually, Canopy allows you to customize based on your needs, budget, and goals.

(Oh, and  product updates and customer support are included in the pricing.)
