Top CRMs for Your Medical Practice

At the top of the list we have Thryv, an “do-it-all” solution for CRMs in medical practices. Thryv offers a seamless customer experience by placing all of the admin and marketing sides of your business into a single, central place.

Thryv also offers a robust automation system. Your practice can “set and forget” a lot of the mundane admin tasks, such as appointment reminders, normally reserved for front-of-house staff, freeing up their time to focus on your patients.

Lastly, Thryv can manage your payments and invoices so you’re not having to chase them yourself. This includes offering finance solutions for bigger medical procedures, giving your clients even more flexibility in how they do business with you.
