![]() Traditional methods of making an appointment consisted of many many phone calls to ask questions like “Do they accept our insurance? Where are they located? What are their hours? Are they always booked? How long were the wait times?” As a result, my sister and I frequently rotated our doctors depending on convenience (i.e. Zocdoc took the pain of making an appointment out, and replaced it with a technology/user driven solution. This was due to various reasons, but mainly because taking time out of a busy schedule was difficult and the process of actually making an appointment was such a drag. Both of us have a poor habit of not scheduling annual check ups until some need arises. I first heard about this app through my sister, who was a new user at the time. Users can then book a slot (and later on, cancel/reschedule if needed) and fill out basic personal and health information through Zocdoc in lieu of the usual waiting room forms given during a patient’s first visit. The online scheduling system allows you to find available appointments up to one month in advance. Providers can be searched according to several filters including specialty, location, insurances accepted, and user rated reviews. Users can also access their website for the same features.Īt its core, ZocDoc enables users to find providers and schedule healthcare appointments easily through their app or website.
