ZocDoc Makes Online Doctor Appointments

Thanks to a new startup, making doctors’ appointments just got a little easier. ZocDoc allows users to book appointments online. According to Business Insider, more than 700,000 people use the service every month.

The service is free for patients and practices can pay a monthly fee of $250 to be included on the site. The idea seems to be taking off, as ZocDoc reports that the number of available appointments jumped from 3 million in February to 5 million last month.

More and more we are seeing companies embrace technology, specifically in the healthcare industry, to streamline processes and meet the needs of the consumer. Have you ever made a doctor’s appointment online? If so, will you do it again in the future?
