How a Family Medicine MD Practices “Better Medicine” with Freed
Dr. “Call-me-Sam” Broffitt uses Freed so he can devote attention to his patients — and still fit in two evening rounds of golf.

Before Freed
“I’d do my own version of shorthand while the patient was talking, collect the sheets and bring them home, and then dictating two or three hours every day.”
A documentation-heavy workflow
Relied on decades-old voice recognition software for dictation
Took shorthand notes during visits, then dictated at night
Spent 2–3 extra hours daily charting from home
Over-documented to protect against litigation
Felt increasingly burned out after 40+ years in practice
With Freed
“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.”
No need for shorthand or dictation after hours
Brings a laptop into the room, lets Freed capture the entire visit
Can pull up any reference materials to help him with his patient
Only light edits required — notes are more complete than before
Leaves work earlier, with notes already done
Dr. Broffitt has been "liberated" before, during, and after the visit.
Why he loves life with Freed
Practice better medicine
With Freed working in the background, Broffitt can focus fully on his patients, build connections, and pull up clinical references mid-visit.
“I thought I was a good doctor before Freed, but I think I'm a little better now that Freed has come along.”
Win back personal time
He saves 8-10 hours per week — enough for two rounds of golf instead of that late-night dictation.
Rediscover joy in his work
Instead of retiring, he sees himself practicing another 5-10 years. For his patients, this means keeping the care they've counted on for generations.
“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. Broffitt's favorite features
Easy onboarding
Setup is simple, with no additional training or IT needed. “It’s so easy to onboard and set up.”
Accurate, elegant notes
Freed produces detailed documentation with minimal edits — so complete that insurers reverse down-coded claims.
Background note-taking
By working seamlessly in the background, Freed lets him focus on his patients — who already see him as “part of the family.”
