Time savings have increased daily clients and improve revenue in my chiropractic practice
Technology is always improving, and putting new technology would be an improvement for my job. I feel fine with the actual platform. Depot is a useful tool and there is space for improvement, but I can't figure out what can be done, which is why I chose eight out of ten.
