Springwise:
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.
