ZocDoc is an online medical care scheduling service, providing free of charge medical care search facility for end users by integrating information about medical practices and doctors' individual schedules in a central location.
 

Business model

ZocDoc provides a scheduling system on paid subscription basis for medical personnel. The scheduling system can be accessed by subscribers both as an online service and via the deployed office calendar software, or integrated with their websites. The subscriber's schedules are available to the end users – patients – free of charge.
 

The end user–searchable database includes specialties, range of services, office locations, photographs, personnel educational background and user–submitted reviews. For each doctor the users are able to review the free slots in the schedule and make appointments for specific time slots.

In October 2012, the company launched its first new product since inception - ZocDoc Check-in. This feature allows patients to fill out their paperwork online in advance of their visit.
