Family medicine isn’t about treating one condition. It's about seeing the whole person — and often, the whole family. 

A 15-minute visit might cover anything from acute issues to chronic conditions to preventative care. All while the clock ticks and your inbox fills.

When the exam’s over, your work isn’t. You’re translating a day’s — or week’s — worth of conversations into SOAP notes. 

Meanwhile, your family waits at home. 

We built Freed to change that. 

Solving family medicine’s documentation burden

Does Freed’s AI scribe support family medicine? Yes. Absolutely. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. 

Freed exists today because of one family physician: Dr. Gabriella Meckler, who came home each day to hours of charts.

Her husband saw the toll it took. He realized it’s a global burden — across practices, functions, and specialties. 

That’s why he built Freed. ‍

“Freed is the baby of such experiences. Hearing Gabi say ‘I have notes to do’ 2,555 times in 7 years (that’s every day), having intimate dinners with our laptops, seeing our residency friends cry out of burnout, and roughly one billion clicks in the EHR.” — Erez Druk, Freed CEO and Dr. Meckler’s husband

While Freed supports hundreds of specialties, family medicine is where it started — and where the most clinicians thrive. 

“I didn't realize how frantically taking notes on the computer while listening to patients had split my attention between them and the screen. Freed is nothing short of revolutionary.” – Dr. Bryan Walker, Family medicine clinician

 Built for the complexities of family medicine 

This isn’t a generic transcription service. Freed’s becoming a true AI assistant that supports you before, during, and after the visit. 

"Thanks to Freed, I close my computer and I am done for the day. My kids get all of me. I have my weekends back with my family. I'm not sitting late at night charting." — Natalie Desseyn, Family & Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Here’s how Freed captures everything from multi-problem visits to doorknob questions. 

Easy prep with patient context and visit summaries

You’re guiding your patient through new life stages, conditions, and treatments. That context matters. 

Freed keeps track of your patients’ progress over time, pulling insights and follow up notes for each new visit. 

Structured, accurate notes in real time 

Your visits are complex. Your notes shouldn’t be. Freed writes notes in real time while you chat with your patient. Each note has distinct problem lists, individualized assessments, and plans — plus ICD-10 code recommendations. 

Our AI is fine-tuned to family medicine — with over 27,000 different medications and terms — so you can quickly review and ship to the EHR. 

Personalized workflows that fit your style

No two clinicians document the same way. Freed adapts to you with: 

• Learn format trains the AI on your writing preferences as you edit
• An AI personalization agent handles wide-sweeping changes with simple, natural-language commands.
• Template libraries with specialty-specific and customizable templates for consistent, context-rich notes that feel like your own.

Seamless EHR integration with any browser-based EHR

Family medicine already asks you to juggle enough systems. Freed meets you where you work — right inside your EHR. 

With EHR push in Freed’s Chrome extension, you can review your note and send it directly into any browser-based EHR without changing tabs. 

It’s fast, reliable, and requires zero IT support, so small practices get enterprise-grade efficiency from day one.

Patient letters for referrals, excuse notes, exemptions, and more

After the visit, paperwork shouldn’t slow you down. 

Freed automatically generates clean, ready-to-share letters — from referrals and follow-up summaries to excuse notes and medical exemptions. 

Why family medicine clinicians choose Freed over other AI  scribes

It’s not just about the features. It’s about finding a tool that you can use immediately. Here’s why family physicians choose Freed: 

• Setup takes minutes, not days: There’s no need for IT support or hefty integrations. Just sign up and start documenting.
• Around-the-clock support: Our dedicated support team can quickly help you fine-tune notes, troubleshoot audio, or adjust preferences. Or, you can self-serve with our in-app chat and robust help center.

“I tried Freed and I woke up the next day feeling like there is hope for the future for the first time in years.” – Dr. Cassie Whittier, Family medicine physician 

A family physician’s story: Dr. Broffitt 

Dr. "Call-Me-Sam" Broffitt had a system. Sort of.

He'd scribble shorthand notes during visits. Collect the sheets. Bring them home. Then spend 2-3 hours every single evening dictating into decades-old voice recognition software.

For 40 years, this was just "how it was done."

"If I were not able to have Freed anymore, I think I'd just go ahead and call it a career. Because I was getting to the point of burnout." Dr. Sam Broffitt, MD

But here's what changed everything: He tried Freed’s AI clinical scribe for his family medicine practice.

Now he brings his laptop into the exam room. Freed captures everything in the background. He can actually pull up clinical references mid-visit to help his patients. His notes are more complete than ever. And the editing? Just a few minutes.

The result is 8-10 hours saved per week. Enough time for two rounds of golf instead of dictation sessions.

"It's actually made me practice better medicine. I wish I had this 40 years ago when I first started. I enjoy practicing medicine now more than I ever did."

Instead of retiring, Dr. Broffitt is planning another 5-10 years of practice. His patients — who've trusted him for generations — get to keep their doctor.

And here's his advice: "Give it a try. You won't go back. It's liberating in every aspect."

The bottom line

Family medicine is demanding, unpredictable, and deeply human. Your documentation shouldn’t get in the way of that.

Freed gives you lighter evenings, more presence in the room, and real relief. So you can focus on the people behind the problems.
