How an Integrative Medicine Doctor Escapes 3+ Hours of Nightly Charting
Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf went from dreading 3-hour nightly charting sessions to leaving work on time.

Before Freed
"Now, there’s an endless list of documentation requirements. It’s become overwhelming. I’d spend hours composing notes from memory, piecing together scribbled reminders just to recreate the visit."
Documentation that consumed her evenings
Spent 45+ minutes writing notes for complex consultations
Manually created recommendation lists — sometimes with as many as 72 recommendations for a single patient
Reviewed scribbled notes from visits to reconstruct everything she'd discussed
Worked 2-3+ hours every evening organizing recommendations and composing notes
Felt overwhelmed and considered quitting after 38 years in practice
With Freed
"You're saving my life. I used to think about quitting all the time because it's so overwhelming. Your tool has been an amazing help."
Organized documentation that works for complex care
Records entire consultations, even when they run 2-3 hours for new patients
Captures and organizes multi-system recommendations automatically
Uses the pause feature to input patient information from forms before visits start
Pulls up transcripts to review what's been documented without opening multiple files
Dr. Lonsdorf leaves work earlier with complete, organized notes and has been pulled back from the brink of quitting the job she loves.
Why she loves life with Freed
Handles integrative medicine’s complexities
Integrative medicine touches so many subjects, and Freed can organize them all:
"You do such a great job with the action steps. I can just copy-paste the assessment plan."
Better prep for patient visits
Before each visit, Dr. Lonsdorf reviews patient forms and labs, reading key details into Freed. When the patient arrives, their background is already captured and she’s fully prepared.
Redirecting her assistant’s attention
Dr. Lonsdorf no longer needs her assistant to scribe. She’s moved onto other tasks like managing supplement recommendations, saving hours and money previously spent on scribing.
“Freed is proactive. The team's always thinking, 'what do clinicians need next and what more can we do to support?'”
Real benefits for Dr. Lonsdorf’s practice
Organized recommendations
Dr. Lonsdorf can choose between organizing by category (diet, supplements, lifestyle) or by health condition, depending on what each patient needs.
Instant transcript access
Dr. Lonsdorf can review what's been documented without waiting until the end of a patient visit.
Cuts the mental load
Nancy says Freed “saved [her] life” because it removes the overwhelming burden of long, complex notes and recommendations — turning a 45-minute, brain-draining documentation process into something she can manage without dreading it.
