The best booking software for clinics (physio, chiro and therapy)

A clinic usually needs more than booking: clinical notes, billing and sometimes telehealth. If you only need patients to book and get reminders, a general tool is cheaper; if you need notes and billing, look at a clinic system such as Jane.
