About Oxbow
Oxbow is a team of practicing primary care physicians, expert database programmers, world-class interface designers, and security experts. Founded by Dr. Shawn Moyer out of frustration with the existing tools available to help him record his patient encounters, Oxbow reflects what real practicing physicians want in an EMR and the company who backs it, not what insurance companies or Uncle Sam thinks physicians want.
Our philosophy is simple: the practicing physician should be able to focus on patients not paperwork, medicine not administration. We designed the Oxbow system from the ground up to embody that philosophy and make your life easier. Finally, you can have the freedom to be a doctor.
