Make a Quick Doctor Appointment with this Website
ZocDoc—recently launched in the San Gabriel Valley—says it can cut the average wait time to see a doctor from 20 days to 24 hours.
ZocDoc is a free service that offers appointments with credentialed doctors who you can search by location, specialty and language.
Here's how it works: The site will ask you to input insurance information, zip code, and the type of doctor needed. ZocDoc then provides you with doctor reviews and allows you to see the doctor's schedule.
ZocDoc provides instant appointments, it says, by making efficient use of a doctor’s cancellations. At any given time, there are over 5 million appointments available on ZocDoc nationwide.
