“Patients were asking for it. You can get text messages from your hairstylist or veterinarian — the technology is clearly available — why not receive them from your doctor’s office?”

“I think our relationship with them had gotten stale — we just didn’t feel like they were keeping up with the industry. Billing was a challenge, we could never get anyone to pick up the phone or get help, and the system was always changing.”
