A Simpler Way To Make A Doctor’s Appointment
Aiming to make healthcare simpler, ZocDoc lets users make appointments with the Big Apple’s dentists and doctors instantly and online, 24/7.
Users simply search for the type of appointment they need—the site currently offers primary care, dermatology, ophthalmology, ENT, orthopedics, OB/GYN and dentistry—and they get a list of immediately bookable appointments in their area.
Background details and patient reviews are available for each doctor and dentist listed on the site, and ZocDoc can also filter results by location and insurance accepted.
Launched into beta in late 2007, the site is free to use.

That is just amazing! i can’t say though that i necessarily think this is a great idea…i mean it takes away personal contact, and there are so many variables to consider. this could end up making more work for the healthcare employees that usually book appointments. if someone in person or over the phone makes an appointment, then this means that now rather then just updating it in the office computer, now employees will have to log onto the web and start logging new appointments made on the internet, and what if the day is so busy that they forget to and then appointments are double or triple booked due to not updating? this could leave a lot of room for patients getting irrate at the healthcare system.
