Real Dragon Medical One Testimonials

Charleston GI

Improved satisfaction with lower spend
“

With real-time speech recognition, we’re still able to provide exceptional, patient-focused care and create documentation that thoroughly depicts the patient condition, but our documentation spend and provider satisfaction have vastly improved.

Tommy Punteney
Chief Operating Officer

Hancock Health

End-of-day zero backlog
“

Completing the majority of my documentation while in the room with the patient means all my notes are finished at the end of the day and ready for review. This workflow is a win for everyone. I get my work done in the office at the point of care—making patient records more complete and accurate and preserving my personal family time.

Dr. Matthew Surburg
Physician

90 seconds per note
“

Dragon Medical One is so accurate, I can create high-quality notes efficiently—in about 90 seconds after the patient visit. We've not only saved money but now we can spend our evenings with our families instead of catching up on documentation.

Dr. Nathan Shores
Gastroenterologist

Forsyth Foot & Ankle Associates

Up to 2 hours/day saved
“

At the end of the day, I would spend up to two hours finishing my notes and getting them into billing so the bills could go out. If I had to run out or go to the OR, things would start to pile up, so I would sometimes be two or three days behind.

Moving to eScription One was literally life changing. Beyond giving us our nights and weekends back, this fundamentally changed our roles and our working relationships with clinicians.
