What 4th Dimension EMR does

4th Dimension EMR, Inc. (4D EMR) is a privately-held, founder-owned software company founded in 2013 by Dr. Robert Pollack, a board-certified plastic surgeon. The company provides a cloud-native electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management platform purpose-built for aesthetic medicine — specifically plastic and cosmetic surgery practices, medical spas, and other aesthetic providers. Its core platform consolidates scheduling, clinical charting, before-and-after photo management, patient quoting, point-of-sale and payment processing (including 4D PAY), inventory tracking, two-way messaging, patient portal with digital intake, telehealth, and insurance billing into a single HIPAA-compliant system accessible from any browser without local software installs.

The product architecture is distinguished by its native cloud build (as opposed to retrofitted legacy client-server EMRs) and a recent AI extension: 4D Scribe AI, an ambient medical scribe that listens to clinical encounters and generates structured SOAP/H&P/Progress notes in under 90 seconds. The AI capability is delivered through a partnership with Knowtex and embedded natively into the EMR workflow. The platform has earned ONC Health IT certification (Drummond Certified, April 2026) and operates an integration ecosystem that includes PatientFi (exclusive embedded patient financing), AI Med Consult (engagement analytics), Open Practice/OpenPM (billing), Rocopia (ePrescribing), and approximately ten other specialty-aligned partners.

Commercially, 4D EMR serves over 200 aesthetic practices in the United States on a subscription model priced at $750 per month for the first provider and $325 per month for each additional provider, with month-to-month contracts, no per-user fees, no implementation fees, and free data migration included. The company sells via a direct/inside sales motion with demo-based engagement, supported by industry event presence (ASAPS The Aesthetic MEET, AACS Annual Scientific Meeting) and content marketing. The company is incorporated in Nevada with operational headquarters in Las Vegas, and has no disclosed external funding to date.

Direct peers

• Nextech: Nextech is one of the largest EMR and practice management vendors serving plastic surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, and orthopedics. It is repeatedly cited by 4D EMR customers (e.g., Chopra Plastic Surgery, Barrett Plastic Surgery) as the legacy system they migrated away from, making it the most direct head-to-head competitor in the aesthetic EMR category.
• Modernizing Medicine (Mod Med): Modernizing Medicine offers specialty-specific EHR systems including a plastic surgery and med spa edition built on its EMA platform. It is named by 4D EMR customers as a prior incumbent they replaced, and competes for the same mid-market and enterprise aesthetic practices with AI documentation (ModMed Scribe) and integrated practice management.
• Symplast: Symplast is a cloud-native EHR and practice management platform purpose-built for plastic surgeons and med spas. It directly competes with 4D EMR in the same niche with mobile-first workflows, patient engagement, and integrated payments, serving a similar profile of elective-aesthetic practices.
• Aesthetic Record: Aesthetic Record is an EMR and business management platform built specifically for medical spas and aesthetic practices. It is listed as a 4D EMR integration partner logo and competes for the same med spa and aesthetic segment with scheduling, charting, inventory, and POS functionality.
• PatientNow (by Nextech): PatientNow is a marketing, patient engagement, and EMR platform targeting medical spas and aesthetic practices. It directly overlaps with 4D EMR's med spa segment on scheduling, patient engagement, and EMR, and competes in the same demo-driven sales motion.
• Remedly: Remedly provides specialty-specific EHR, practice management, and billing for medical spas, plastic surgery, and dermatology aesthetics. It targets the same elective-aesthetic verticals with cloud delivery and integrated patient engagement, comparable to 4D EMR's product surface.

Broad incumbents

• eClinicalWorks: eClinicalWorks is a large ambulatory EHR vendor serving practices of all specialties, including aesthetic and plastic surgery. While not specialty-specific, it overlaps on EMR, patient portal, and billing functionality and represents a broader incumbent alternative for practices considering 4D EMR.
• DrChrono (by EverHealth): DrChrono is a cloud-based EHR and practice management platform serving ambulatory specialties including aesthetics and med spas. It competes more broadly across specialties but overlaps with 4D EMR on scheduling, charting, patient engagement, and mobile/cloud delivery.
• athenahealth: athenahealth is a large-scale ambulatory EHR and revenue cycle vendor used by practices of varying sizes including some aesthetics. It is a broader incumbent alternative rather than a direct aesthetic-specialty competitor but overlaps materially on core EMR, patient portal, and billing functionality.
• CureMD: CureMD offers specialty-specific EHR, practice management, and billing across multiple ambulatory specialties including aesthetics. While not niche-focused on plastic surgery, it overlaps with 4D EMR on core clinical documentation, scheduling, patient engagement, and integrated billing.
