About MedStack
Independent software reviews,
built for practitioners
MedStack was founded by a physician who was tired of biased software reviews that prioritize vendor advertising over practitioner needs. We evaluate medical software the way a colleague would recommend it — honestly, based on real experience.
Independence
Our editorial process is separate from our business operations. Affiliate partnerships never influence rankings.
Practitioner-First
We write for the doctors, dentists, and practice owners who will actually use these tools — not IT departments.
Transparency
We disclose how we make money, how we test, and where our data comes from. Every review includes our methodology.
Accuracy
We verify pricing, features, and integrations directly with vendors and update our content quarterly.
