DrChrono handles clinical workflows for your weight-loss MedSpa: patient charting, eRx for semaglutide, telehealth visits, insurance billing. It was designed for general medicine, configured for aesthetics. A Swiss Army knife — functional at everything, exceptional at nothing. Clinically adequate. But DrChrono does zero marketing. Your semaglutide program needs SEO ranking for "weight loss clinic near me," voice AI answering consultation calls, and reviews building trust. Clinical adequacy without marketing excellence creates a clinic that works but does not grow.
TL;DR
DrChrono handles clinical ops. Webevo handles growth. Choose whatever EMR fits clinically — then add Webevo for marketing.

General vs Specialized: General EMRs like DrChrono can be configured for any specialty but excel at none. Aesthetic practices using DrChrono spend 2-3x longer on documentation compared to purpose-built aesthetic EMRs because they must customize generic templates. The same generality applies to marketing — DrChrono's generic patient portal is not a growth strategy. Purpose-built growth marketing outperforms general tools every time.
DrChrono's flexibility is its strength and weakness. iPad-based charting works across specialties. Telehealth integration supports virtual consultations. Insurance and cash-pay billing coexists. For practices that split between medical dermatology (insurance) and cosmetic aesthetics (cash-pay), DrChrono handles the billing complexity.
But flexibility in clinical tools does not translate to marketing. Whether you use DrChrono, ModMed, or a paper chart, the marketing challenge is identical: rank on Google, answer every call, generate reviews, and nurture leads. The Webevo platform provides these growth capabilities independent of your EMR choice — making it the perfect complement to whatever clinical tool fits your workflow.
When DrChrono Makes Sense
DrChrono fits smaller practices mixing insurance and cash-pay services needing flexible billing and basic clinical workflows on iPad. If clinical charting and billing are the primary gaps, DrChrono provides adequate solutions.
For growth alongside any EMR — add the Webevo platform.
