ZocDoc is a doctor and dentist finder. It also lets patients book a time with their doctor online, just like they would when making reservations for a restaurant. Users simply need to drop in their insurance carrier and plan, then where they live. The service does the rest by showing available appointments, and providing the tools to secure available times.
ZocDoc also features a ratings system, which lets users rate each provider with both a star rating and a written review. Included in this rating are things like bedside manner and wait time, which can help other ZocDoc users steer clear of potentially bad providers and find the good ones. The service is currently limited to the greater New York area, but has plans to branch out nationwide.
