Testimonials

Klara has been a game-changer! I have two staff members who no longer have to focus on appointment prep full-time. Now we leverage Klara’s technology, and things are much more efficient! I am making better use of our precious human resources.

Klara helped change the atmosphere in our office from stressful and frustrating, to a peaceful environment. We are no longer tied up on the phone, and have more time to help patients in the office.

Klara has allowed our nursing staff to reply to patients much quicker. It’s been a less stressful environment and everyone is now leaving the office for the day on time.

Klara’s automated pre-appointment messages and after-hour replies have greatly reduced miscommunication and phone tag for our staff.

Klara has helped consolidate all patient outreach, from scheduling to appointment follow-ups, into one, easy-to-use platform.

Klara has the ability to be completely adaptive to how we want to communicate with our patients. One of the reasons why we chose Klara was for the messaging functionality. For example, patients can text us to schedule appointments, and our nurses can easily message back so the patient doesn't have to call the office. It allows a great workflow in our office, and our patients appreciate the convenience.

The fully customized, automated appointment reminders and appointment follow-up messaging has really helped our patients arrive prepared for their appointments and feel supported after any aesthetic or surgical treatments.

Klara has exceeded all expectations and eliminated the need for paper forms, reduced no-shows and cancellations, and made it easier for our staff and providers to communicate via a secure platform.

We chose Klara because it doesn’t require our patients to create an account or remember log-in credentials – creating seamless communication.

Klara streamlines communication amongst the whole team. Patients feel like they have a direct line of communication to the practice staff & don’t have to tell their story more than once.

A note from Klara Technologies

At Klara, we know that patient expectations are evolving. At the same time, many medical professionals are feeling burned out or overwhelmed by mundane tasks that keep them away from what really matters: providing high-quality patient care. 

That's why Klara was founded in 2013 with a mission to transform healthcare communication so that every patient can receive great care. 

With Klara, enhancing the patient journey is as easy as texting. Our patient engagement platform can help your practice consolidate multiple patient outreach tools into one, intuitive platform. Additionally, Klara can automate key touchpoints throughout the patient journey. The result? You can start spending more time with patients, and less time trying to reach them. 

Join us in revolutionizing the healthcare experience and start getting back to doing what you love — providing a quality experience for your patients.

Always here to help, 

The Klara team
