“As a physician, the burden of documentation can often take away from the most important part of my job, being fully present with my patient. With Nabla, I no longer have to type frantically during visits or worry that I’ll miss capturing something important. Instead, I can focus on the patient, listen to their story, and truly engage.”

Game changer, It's been great. Workflow is good. Overall excellent experience and it keeps getting better.

Dr. Brian Stith
Family Medicine

I think that this saves me multiple hours per week and at the very least, it has been a big work satisfaction improvement.

Dr. Garrett Korrect
Urology

It has been great for me particularly in new patients or those with problems that are symptom based. Using the platform allows me to listen to the patient without having to write notes down and my notes are more accurate. It also saves me a lot of time and documenting. It has been a major win for me.

Dr. Maria Olberding
Family Medicine

This has alleviated an enormous amount of burn out for me. This has allowed me to spend time at home with my family that used to get sucked up by charting. This will allow me to postpone retirement for a few more years.

Chief Medical Officer

Nabla fits very well in the Epic workflow. It was the shortest learning curve of any technology that I’ve used and probably the easiest technology I’ve adopted in medicine.
