Pros thumbs-up

Honestly, I haven't found anything positive about my experience , every aspect has felt frustrating and unhelpful and I can't point to a single feature that worked well for me.

Cons thumbs-up

I've found this platform to be the most frustrating tool I've encountered in healthcare and after two months of trying I still haven't managed to get my EPCS configured so I can legally prescribe controlled substances, which has left me feeling completely defeated and like I've given up.

Pros thumbs-up

Honestly, nothing; it was excellent when I first joined three years ago.

Cons thumbs-up

I've dealt with the worst customer service,there's no phone line at all, they refuse to speak by phone and insist on chat only, which left me unable to figure out how to do what was needed to resolve my issue; after waiting over a week for any meaningful assistance with iPrescribe I finally gave up, switched to MD TOOLBOX and now really love it, so I'm absolutely not returning.

Pros thumbs-up

Back when they were integrated into our EHR system, I found workflows much easier, yet now they seldom reply to issues and it often takes them forever to resolve problems.

Cons thumbs-up

Signing in forces me to check my email for a verification code every single time and when I want to e-prescribe for the following patient I'm required to sign out, sign back in and enter yet another email verification code, which ends up being extremely time-consuming.

Dave W.

Pros thumbs-up

Because electronic prescribing is required in our state, I depend on this platform even though it's imperfect and it does, albeit with difficulty, successfully transmit prescriptions to the pharmacy.

Cons thumbs-up

I find the system cumbersome and redundant and the recent requirement for a one-time verification code has been crippling because it now forces me to retrieve a new emailed code every time I log in; picture having to check my inbox repeatedly while signing on dozens of times each day to write 20-30 prescriptions, which is the reality for many of us. Once I'm finally logged in there's yet another layer of two-factor checks, endless pop-up boxes to acknowledge warnings and dosing prompts and annoying "did you know you prescribed..." messages that interrupt workflow and add cognitive load. These extra hurdles are simply morale-sapping, likely driving some physicians away and it's maddening that we also have to pay for a system that creates so much friction.

Pros thumbs-up

Ultimately, my scheduled medications do get sent, so I can depend on the system to complete the transmission once the process finishes.

Cons thumbs-up

From my experience, the whole workflow feels needlessly repetitive and inefficient, because I first choose the meds to be sent via EPSC Gold/Dr. First and then, after jumping into EPSC Gold, I am forced to pick them again one by one; on top of that I must enter a unique password and then type in a six-digit passcode from Symantic VIP that refreshes every thirty seconds, which adds friction. My previous EHR used ID.me for identity verification when sending scheduled medications and that approach was so much smoother: I selected the meds a single time, clicked once to submit a password that the EHR retained for quick access, a confirmation bar popped up on my phone, I tapped it and the prescriptions were gone. In contrast, DrFirst's EPCS Gold dem ands far more taps and clicks and while it may have wowed clinicians transitioning from paper to electronic back in 2013 when it launched, from where I sit today it feels outdated compared with current competitors.

Pros thumbs-up

I used to appreciate that the mobile version was free, since it let me access everything on my phone without paying extra and made it convenient to manage things while I was away from my usual workspace.

Cons thumbs-up

One major problem I ran into was the complete absence of phone support for technical issues; last night I ended up waiting about two and a half hours in the live chat before getting any real help and even though I told the chat agent up front that this would likely take more than two hours, the wait dragged on so long that she had to sign off when her shift ended, leaving my problem unresolved.

Pros thumbs-up

I like the concept of an app that lets me send prescriptions, but in my experience the application hasn't been consistently dependable in operation.

Cons thumbs-up

I've run into occasions where the app r andomly refuses to accept my password and when that happens there's essentially no prompt customer support to resolve it, which is unacceptable; given the high price, I expect either a product that works consistently or at least a dependable, speedy help desk , if you work in healthcare and require trustworthy prescribing tools, I would choose another provider.

Pros thumbs-up

I found nothing from it; onboarding was nightmarish and when issues arose I was stuck in a labyrinth of roadblocks trying to reach a solution, thanks.

Cons thumbs-up

After I filed a support ticket, there was no phone call from anyone; they replied by email and four days later emailed asking the best time to call,how about when you actually get the message?

Pros thumbs-up

When I joined six years ago the onboarding was attentive to my needs, but now it's awful

Cons thumbs-up

I've been a customer here for quite some time and used to rely on solid service, yet lately it feels like phone-based customer support has vanished entirely; the virtual assistants I reach are often curt, unhelpful and can't connect me with any supervisor or manager, which is incredibly frustrating. Right now I'm sitting on hold for one hour and fifteen minutes and the email route only gives an automatic acknowledgement that they've received my message and then nothing further happens, so I can't get any scripts sent today and will have to spend time looking for another provider. They even claim they don't have my email or contact details on file despite the invoice I paid in full clearly showing all of my current information, so seriously, don't sign up , this isn't worth the hassle.

Pros thumbs-up

Although it functions on occasion, I don't find it reliable enough to recommend it to anyone.

Cons thumbs-up

Their customer service is virtually non-existent; I've called multiple times and faced at least an hour on hold each time, yet I still haven't managed to reach a live person. Email support moves painfully slowly and often takes several hours to respond and when they do reply the answers are unhelpful and fail to fix my issue, which is incredibly frustrating when I'm counting on this service to prescribe medications for my patients.
