NextGen Healthcare Selected by Southwest Michigan Dermatology to Optimize Practice Management and Improve Patient Experience
Large Dermatology Practice Leveraging Innovative Healthtech Solutions to Expand Access to Care Across Region REMOTE-FIRST COMPANY/PORTAGE, Mich., May 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NextGen Healthcare, a leading provider of innovative, cloud-based healthcare technology solutions, has been selected by Southwest Michigan Dermatology to streamline operations and support an enhanced patient experience. NextGen® Enterprise PM (practice management) will boost interoperability across locations while NextGen® Patient Engage powered by Luma equips patients to complete pre-visit intake at their own convenience and improves practice efficiency. Locally owned and operated since 1998, Southwest Michigan Dermatology today encompasses 19 providers offering comprehensive dermatological care from medical and surgical to cosmetic dermatology.

"Partnering with NextGen Healthcare gives us an opportunity to optimize practice operations while providing a better experience for our patients and our practice—a win-win." With the addition of NextGen® Patient Self-Scheduling powered by Luma and NextGen® Waitlist powered by Luma, patients will be able to schedule their own appointments and join waitlists for preferred appointment times from their mobile devices. NextGen® Pay powered by InstaMed will deliver a more seamless bill pay experience for patients and staff alike.
