Online Service Gives Faster Appointments with Neighborhood Doctors

ZocDoc—recently launched in the San Gabriel Valley—can cut the average wait time to see a doctor from 20 days to 24 hours.

ZocDoc is a free service that offers instant appointments with credentialed doctors whom consumers can search for by location, specialty, and language spoken. The consumer inputs pertinent insurance information, zip code, and the type of doctor the consumer needs. ZocDoc then provides the consumer with doctor reviews and allows the consumer to view the direct appointment schedule of the doctor.

ZocDoc provides instant appointments by making efficient use of a doctor’s cancellations. At any given time, there are over 5 million appointments available on ZocDoc nationwide. 

ZocDoc can be accessed online and through the free iPhone, Android, and Blackberry application.
