On behalf of our clinical and administrative staff, I would like to say thank you to Autopia for being part of our office.

As you know, Rideau Dental Centre is one of the largest dental offices in Canada comprised of six general dentists, seven hygienists, two specialists, and with a support and administrative staff of twenty-three people.

Our passion is to provide our patients with the very best of care.In order to do so, we must acquire excellence clinically as well as administratively.

Rideau Dental Centre has been computerized for the past eleven years. The past six months have been spent searching, studying, reading and testing all of the software packages with the potential to compliment our office. All of our team members were involved in the selection. We unanimously agreed that Autopia offered the package that best suited our needs.

We were attracted to Autopia software because it was so intuitive that it seemed to anticipate all of our needs. From its ability to network with digital x-rays and intra-oral cameras, to its financial package, report generator and appointment scheduler, it is second to none.

Converting a fifteen year old dental practice with a patient load of twenty-six thousand, retaining patient history, insurance data and all of the notes so significant in patient communication was a great concern to us. Your team of experts managed to perform this task professionally and efficiently and with a minimum disruption to the operation of our practice.

Training and support provided by the Autopia team has made the conversion from a UNIX based software system to a windows environment an entertaining as well as educational experience. This contributed to a reduction in the anxiety experienced by our staff as they were called upon to learn a new system "on the fly".

Perhaps the aspect of our relationship that I appreciated the most was your willingness to listen to our concerns and modify your own excellent software in a manner that best suited the specific administrative and clinical relationships within our own office. We were never made to feel that we would have to change our method of operation to adhere to a rigid and inflexible program design.

I have been extremely pleased and satisfied with the software package you provided. More importantly, I have been impressed with the people I have had the pleasure of working with. These relationships have always been of utmost importance to me throughout my professional career of 35 years. Based upon this experience, I would not hesitate to recommend your software or your services to other dental practices.

Yours truly,
