Good luck with your new office, Kerry.

Love the website and the picture of the lake at the top.

Also, the picture of the family -- impressive swimming across the lake each year!

:-)

How are you planning to use appointmentquest?

Is it incorporated into your Practice Mgt system at all or are you using it as your stand alone appointment system.

Best wishes for a great start.

Hi all-

I just wanted to let you know that my micropractice opens tomorrow!!! 1 exam room and no staff (except a biller-I just couldn’t bear to do that myself….). I already have 3 people on the schedule and although I have a ton of scanning of old charts to do, I think I am mostly ready to roll. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your advice on this listserve. I wouldn’t have had the guts or the knowledge to do this without you!!! Oh, and check out my website if you want-- www.kerrygraffmd.com.

Hi ,

Thanks for the good wishes! A friend

actually painted that picture for me when I had trouble finding something that I

liked for the site. I’m using it for my business cards and office

magnets, too.

I’m using Amazing Charts for my

EMR. It’s cheap ($1000) and user-friendly and works well for a

small office. It also integrates with onebox messaging system, which I am

using for emailing and faxing, although I haven’t fully figured out the

interface…. The main reason I went with AC is that two other docs

in my town (one a micropractice) use it and can help me trouble-shoot since I

am not a computer whiz. Unfortunately, it’s scheduling doesn’t

merge with appointmentquest, so they are separate. So I’m really just

using Appointmentquest for scheduling appointments. So far, I really like

it and I have gotten great feedback from patients as well. No ties to Amazing

Charts, Onebox or Appointmentquest.

Thanks again!

I did office version because I wanted to

be able to schedule 6 months out. It includes more schedules and

personnel than I needed, but I think it is a very reasonable price for patients

being able to schedule (and reschedule, if needed) their own appointments and

automatic reminder emails. Again, no ties…

I just went on kerry Graff's website and was totally impressed.

I opened my new practice 2 mos ago and wish I had followed his model.

I graduated residency in Jan, joined a physician in practice for 9 yrs and left 5 mos later. People think I am crazy to go on my own so soon. I just feel I don't think I have to serve another physician for years before I do it myself.

Any suggestions??

Kerry-

your web site is so together!! If you know that much about your

practice before you even open, what will your practice be like in 2

years? I think when I started, I had no clue as to general office

policies/management etc., had to learn by doing (and I'm not even sure

at this point, almost 2 years out, that I have things as well

organized as you...)

Nice job! Also love the watercolors.
