## Reviews

> **Katrina** | *November 23, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that you can easily submit claims and keep track of claim history. The software is easy to use and the customer support people are very friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not dislike anything about this software. I find it very easy to use and I was easily able to submit claims and view my claim history.
> 
> I have used this software to submit claims for my health care. It provided a variety of options and I was easily able to keep track of the status of my claims and view past claims.

-----

### "Efficient and Informative" — 4.0/5

> **Spencer** | *April 27, 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very efficient and informative. Helped the entire process flow smoother, giving me the confidence in making an informed decision.
> 
> **Cons**: User interface could use work. Overall, the process was smooth and informative, however the layout wasn't as clear as I hoped.

-----

### "Modern looking and easy to use EMR" — 5.0/5

> **Cameron** | *October 18, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are so many things. The product is the most modern looking ehr. We love the patient timeline, the LIA AI tool, and their new medications and prescription module. But most of it, the people behind it all.
> 
> **Cons**: There are no concerns with Lightning Step. They've always listened to our feedback and allowed for constructive discussions.
> 
> I would rank the overall experience 5 stars. The sales process was easy and the transition to implementations was smooth. We had a great implementation.

### "Refreshing to see EHR innovation" — 5.0/5

> **Marty** | *July 10, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: How quickly they bring solutions to our day-to-day problems. They have really focused on innovating.
> 
> **Cons**: With so many new things released in the product, sometimes it's hard to keep up. Would love to have more communication and documentation so we can adopt them all.
> 
> They focus on true partnership. They hear us and they innovate. They always stop us from telling them what features we need, and they try to understand our business pain points.

### "Huge Disappointment.  Do not recommend." — 2.0/5

> **Innis** | *February 6, 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Lightning Step is less expensive than competitors, though you have to realize you will get what you pay for and need to set realistic expectations.  It is not a fancy sports car.  It is a '96 Hyundai.
> 
> **Cons**: Our implementation is a disaster, with us being told incorrect/inaccurate information for setup and ongoing use. Customer support is poor, the answers change week to week depending on who you speak to, and base elements in the product don't work.  Clinical staff are blind to critical pieces of patient care, management is unable to access key information to successfully run a practice, and revenue cycle is severely hampered because of poor LS setup and mixed messages for support.
> 
> We would not recommend this to anyone.  It is a disaster.   Based on other positive feedback from a year or more ago, we are assuming that Lightning Step has no resources to appropriately support and maintain its product.  Sunwave's purchase of Lightning Step could lead to improvements, but the lack of basic support or any sense of urgency would indicate it plans to simply use LS for parts.
