PatientNow Alternative
Photos in TouchMD. Scripts on the desktop. Forms in your inbox. Tasks behind a sticky note. PatientNow leaves your team stitching the chart together by hand. Reviva keeps it together automatically — clinical, connected, and built for aesthetics.
Opens ChatGPT in a new tab.
Chief complaint: cosmetic consult for glabellar lines and forehead rhytids.
Assessment: dynamic rhytids, good candidate for neuromodulator.
Plan: Botox, 42 units across 5 sites
In this chart
Same five jobs, every practice does them. The difference is whether the software does the work, or your team does.
| By the day | Reviva | PatientNow |
|---|---|---|
| Building the chart | Photos, e-prescribed scripts, consents, and intake forms file into the chart automatically. Capture, sign, done. | Before/after photos live in TouchMD, a paid add-on. Scripts get downloaded, converted to PDF, renamed, and dragged in. Forms are dragged in by hand. Every record is assembled manually. |
| Booking and safeguards | Prerequisite and conditional booking rules, availability tied to rooms and equipment, and required-step checks the front desk can’t skip. | A new patient can book toxin, filler, or laser with no consult, and nothing flags a missing good faith exam, consent, or clearance. No way to block a device in use or tie a provider to a room. |
| Running the practice | Messaging, charting, scribe, tasks, and inventory in one connected system, with unit tracking that counts correctly. | Podium, TouchMD, Freed, and Google Tasks each run separately, so the team lives in five tabs — and inventory miscounts units, logging a 1.2 ml syringe as 1 ml. |
| The provider’s day | A daily command center surfaces today’s patients, open tasks, and expiring forms before they lapse. | Tasks are buried in a separate menu and expiring compliance forms get a disappearing sticky note. No dashboard, no daily snapshot. |
| Owning your data | Free, clean migration in — and your data stays portable if you ever decide to leave. | 15 years of patient history sits locked in a proprietary format that’s difficult to export cleanly. |

15 years of patient history sits locked in a proprietary format that’s difficult to export cleanly.Capture before/after photos directly in Reviva and drag them where they belong — no TouchMD add-on, no download-rename-upload. E-prescribed scripts file themselves into the record. The chart assembles itself.
Require a consult before toxin, filler, or laser. Block a device that’s already in use and tie providers to the rooms they need. Reviva won’t let a good faith exam, consent, or medical clearance fall through the cracks.
Messaging, reviews, charting, scribe, and tasks live in one place — not scattered across Podium, TouchMD, Freed, and Google Tasks. And inventory counts your units correctly, down to the tenth of a milliliter.
Providers open Reviva to a real daily snapshot — today’s patients, open tasks, and expiring compliance forms surfaced before they lapse. No buried task menu, no sticky note that disappears.
Sound familiar?
Your team is the integration. Photos, scripts, and forms don’t flow into the chart on their own — someone downloads, renames, and drags every one into place. You’re paying skilled people to be the glue between tools that should already talk.
You’re trusting memory where you need a system. Nothing stops a patient from booking a treatment with no consult, no good faith exam, no clearance. The safeguards your practice runs on live in someone’s head — not in the software.
Your tools don’t talk, and neither does your data. Podium, TouchMD, Freed, and Google Tasks each run in their own tab, so the day is spent switching between them. And 15 years of patient history is locked in a format that fights you on the way out.
PatientNow has been around a long time. It just was never built to keep your clinical work in one place.
That proprietary PatientNow format isn’t a reason to stay — it’s a reason to move before it gets worse. Reviva migrates your patient history, photos, and documents for free, then runs everything on one all-inclusive, month-to-month plan. Charting, AI scribe, booking rules, and compliance tracking, all in.
Takes 15 minutes. We’ll show you the photos, scripts, forms, and guardrails PatientNow keeps in separate places.
