[HumanSer] EMR System for Mental Health Therapists and private practice

[Yiska]

Hello,

I plan to go into private practice. Interesting that Theranest is being
accessible. I think I would hire an assistant but have not decided.
I have never heard of or used Aira.

Not sure if you were aware but your email is filled with things like the
following.
=E2=80=9C
Dictation was unhappy lol.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
