What Practitioners Are Saying

Zanda keeps growing and improving. It's meeting what we need in these times.
Shalav, Solo Private Practice
Psychologist
Before automations, I was on the phone every afternoon after a visit, manually texting reminders one number at a time. Now my templates and automations do all of that and it's freed me up to actually grow the business.
Nateenee Langsanam, Founder & Oral Health Therapist
Dental on Wheels
Easy to set up, I liked the forms templates which I customised to suit my private practice. I was able to create an automatic response, and a new client intake form is sent out automatically when a new client books. Plus it has an integrated payment system. So far I'm impressed with the intuitive way that it is set up. The help info online and customer support has exceeded my expectations so far.
Ann Cox
I wanted a system that could hold everything you do in a practice so I wasn't jumping between different softwares to do different things.
Miki Skinner, Founder / Owner
Solo private practice
The interface is really user-friendly, it has great features that are needed for Private Practice and great customer support. I especially love the client profile section and the fact that it's easily adaptable to any client base (such as minors and couples!). You can add contacts to get appointment reminders as well as the client themselves and you can add an emergency contact.
Kim Simmons
We have found Zanda to be an awesome addition to running our practice efficiently. From the easy to use interface to all the features you need to keep on top of invoicing and client appointments. There are always great updates to the features offered and the Zanda team are always open to suggestions for improvements.
