MacPractice Team / Field Representative

Lance is one of the few people who saw the new MacPractice software when it was first being developed in the summer of 2004. When asked about joining MacPractice he said the following:

"MacPractice is a new company made up of key people with many years of experience in MediMac, DentalMac, and ChiroMac software development, support and marketing. Many of the individuals have been working with these applications for over 15 years, as I have.

"The principles are Patrick Clyne and Mark Hollis. Patrick and Mark are outstanding individuals in whom I have the utmost confidence. Mark has over 600 MediMac and DentalMac clients and has always been zealous about customer support and service. He has always gone the extra mile to provide his clients with the service and solutions that they need to get the most out of their MediMac software.

"Patrick is the original designer and developer of MediMac, DentalMac and ChiroMac. He bleeds Apple. He has always been dedicated to the Mac platform and was a visionary in using many features of the Mac development environment that virtually no one else exploited in the development of Mac software.

MacPractice software is awesome and takes advantage of all of the really cool development tools provided by Apple. It is being developed with native OS X programming tools and adheres to the incredibly beautiful Mac OS X GUI principles.

The interface is tantalizing. The power, speed and flexibility of the application is breathtaking. All of the great things about the old applications have been incorporated and will be readily apparent upon first encounter with the new application. Issues that limited the old applications and caused real frustration with the accounting functionality at times are being addressed in a thoughtful and comprehensive manner.

"The exciting part of this to me is seeing the application progress at a very rapid pace, even though MacPractice MD, DC, and DDS are completely new applications designed and coded from scratch. Apple has provided one of the most, if not the most, incredible rapid development environments available today. Patrick Clyne, as the original designer and lead developer of the original products, has over 20 years of experience. Patrick has again demonstrated his immense talent at maximizing the real advantages of the Mac development environment.

"Both Patrick and Mark are dedicated to developing the best OS X Medical, Dental and Chiropractic software on the Mac platform. I believe it is becoming the best healthcare management software available on any platform. Patrick is passionate about taking advantage of the new features and superior architecture of the Cocoa development environment of OS X.

"I sincerely believe they are delivering on their promises to produce a completely new and modern application with all of the bells and whistles that everyone has needed and wanted over the years without sacrificing the ease of use and usability that the original programs provided. The interface is very clean, intuitive and virtually self-explanatory.

"MacPractice has hired a number of key individuals to make the delivery of their promises a reality and have aligned themselves with individuals and companies that are service-oriented and committed to the Mac platform.

"One of the most important issues to me and to you is the ability of MacPractice to actually provide credible and meaningful support to the MediMac, DentalMac and ChiroMac users. If you have any file problems requiring file analysis and reconstruction, they can take care of the problem. If you have general problems, training needs and support issues, MacPractice and work in concert to make sure that you get both timely and quality answers to your support calls. The depth and breath of knowledge and experience at MacPractice is without comparison.

Alan Moore is directing the MacPractice support team. If you have ever required serious e-claims help, you probably know his name. He has been the primary E-Claim template developer for many years and has provided the highest tier of technical support to E-Claims customers.

"There are many other wonderful things that could be said about this transition for MacHealth users, but to simply sum up the message it is this. MacPractice provides the best possible solution for Mac users and particularly for MediMac, DentalMac and ChiroMac clients."
