HIPAA-secure photo documentation with side-by-side before and after comparisons, image markup and annotation tools, and organized media galleries. Photos link directly to patient records and treatment timelines. Patients can view their own photos securely through the portal.
|
Basic |
| Intake Forms & Digital Consent |

A branded self-service portal where patients book appointments, pay invoices, view treatment history, manage memberships, update payment methods, access shared clinical notes, view before/after photos, message your team, redeem rewards, and manage gift cards. Passwordless login keeps it simple for patients.
|

Visual email builder with customizable templates, scheduled campaigns, and open/click analytics. SMS campaigns with scheduling and delivery tracking. Build targeted audiences using patient data, appointment history, or even natural language descriptions — then preview audience size before you send.

AI-powered voice call analysis for quality and training. AI lead form generation and an AI knowledge base for patient-facing Q&A.

Basic |

Common reasons practices explore alternatives
Based on user reviews and industry feedback — here's where practices often want more from Calysta EMR.
EMR-Only, Not a Full Platform
Calysta EMR focuses on clinical documentation and scheduling, but doesn't include marketing automation, a patient portal, reputation management, or a lead CRM — tools that most growing practices need.
No ePrescribing
Practices offering prescription-based treatments need ePrescribing integrated into their clinical workflow. Calysta EMR doesn't currently offer this capability.
No Memberships or Loyalty Programs
Membership subscriptions and loyalty rewards are proven revenue drivers for med spas. Calysta EMR doesn't support these patient retention tools.
Why practices choose Prospyr instead
Complete All-in-One Platform
EHR, scheduling, payments, marketing, patient portal, reputation management, lead CRM, VoIP phones, and AI — everything in one platform instead of stitching together separate tools.
Integrated ePrescribing
Prescribe directly from the patient chart with pharmacy network access, medication history, and refill management. Expand the treatments your practice can offer.
Memberships, Packages & Loyalty
Membership programs with recurring billing, treatment packages, patient wallet, gift cards, and a rewards system — revenue tools designed for how med spas build patient relationships.
