Reviews:

"The Chief Complaint is simply indispensable, carry it with me every shift. Excellent algorithms, concise, practical, clinically relevant explanations citing the current best-evidence for management decisions; without doubt Chief Complaint it is THE pocket Emergency Medicine reference to have with you at the bedside."
 -Manuel Montano, MD, PGY-3, LAC+USC EM Residency

"...is really top notch.  I really like how it organizes complaints in a flow pattern type way.  This has allowed me to quickly adjust my decision making and makes it actually useful when I feel super pressured at work.  The further detail located later has been helpful to one, get some good initial learning in and two, look to the resources cited for more in depth discussion."
-David Benaron, UCSD Resident

"Chief complaint is AWESOME...I think every single intern in the country should have one of these...SO COOL!"
 -James Grieme, UCSD Resident

"The aptly named Chief Complaint is simply excellent. I really like the way it is laid out by cc and it's concise enough to be useful on a regular basis. I take it with me to every shift and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a streamlined, functional, real-time guide for working up patients in the ED" 
 -Nick Aldridge, UCSD Resident

"... really something totally new in the medical education world. This app does something many have tried to do but few have achieved, which is to create an orienteering guide to the med-ed landscape while launching your thought processes AT THE BEDSIDE when confronted with a new undifferentiated and undiagnosed patient."
 -William "Billy" Mallon MD,  Foreword

## The Chief Complaint Reviews in United States

### ***** "Keeps getting better"
I’m a paramedic and use this app for assistance with assessments.  It is a little over the top for EMS but it’s super useful at all levels!
-- Jeffa-fa, 2024-11-12

### ***** "Amazing app"
I am an ED NP, this app is amazing for helping with DDx, and overall thought process. Great app, please continue to support!
-- Art Freeland, 2024-05-15

### ***** "Rural FM approves."
I am rural FM which means sometimes I'm the emergency doc. Also means that when my patients finally come to their regular clinic visits they always bring me a messy 99215. This app is very solid. Recommend.
-- thatisnotacello, 2024-04-13

### ***** "Awesome"
Awesome study tool
-- Nate Crown1, 2024-03-17

### ****- "EXCELLENT !!! Only missing ipad Landscape mode"
An excellent app, and very essential, gives you the step approach.
Only missing the landscape mode for iPads.
-- MFA117, 2023-12-07

### *---- "Outdated information"
Find an app that has updated information, this is outdated by at least 10 years…
-- Latinaso, 2023-04-14

### ***** "Excellent resource."
Excellent resource for learning Clinical Management.
-- gursharan27, 2023-01-09

### ***** "Great app for students or starting a career"
I am a hospitalist physican assistant, and I found this app during my rotations. It is unbelievably helpful in determining differentials and train of thought of working your way through more emergent differentials to less. The algorithms are very good. I recommend this to students I come across in the field
-- CarinaHastings, 2022-08-08

### ****- "Great app"
Great app, very useful. Would be nice if a few drugs were under the general complaint categories. One bug, deleting any bookmarks will crash the app.
-- res2080, 2021-02-09

### ***** "OMG!"
Essentially this is a ER Doctor’s app. Myself and my husband are both ER and ICU nurses.  A wonderful app for us as well.  A good reference for patients to know what to expect for treatment in the hospital or by their own treating physician!
-- Squishy@5, 2020-05-19
