Podium

What it does

Podium is a leading messaging and review management platform for local businesses. For dental practices, Podium enables text-based patient communication, appointment reminders, review request campaigns, and payment collection via text. The platform's AI capabilities include automated response suggestions and webchat. Podium integrates with a wide range of platforms and is known for its strong SMS communication capabilities and Google review management.

Considerations

Podium is a horizontal local business platform, not dental-specific; dental PMS integration depth is more limited than dental-focused competitors. Best for practices prioritizing review management and SMS communication over deep PMS integration.
