Patients use the platform to discover doctors in their area, read other patient reviews, and to schedule appointments. Since launching in 2007, Zocdoc has become a household name in the healthcare industry and now has an average of 3.8 million monthly U.S. visits. Its innovative platform provides patients with a modern way to search for in-network doctors by insurance provider, book appointments outside of business hours, and read patient reviews, all in one place.<p>Today, many dentists pay a $300 monthly fee to list their practice on Zocdoc, but this is changing in some markets. To help solicit more patient reviews for you, Zocdoc will email the patient after their appointment has ended, asking, "How was your appointment with Dr. ___?" The next time they sign into Zocdoc, patients will also see a pop-up notification asking them to leave a review.<p>These reviews show up in your Zocdoc Profile results on search engine results pages (SERPs), but because they don't end up on Google, their effects are somewhat limited other than to Zocdoc users. Please note that only Zocdoc patients can review your office.</blockquote></li> |

Last week the company added Seattle, its 14th metropolitan market in the United States.<p>ZocDoc says its Web site is attracting doctor-seeking browsers at the rate of 800,000 a month, a fourfold jump from a year ago. The service is free for patients; doctors pay $250 a month.<p>ZocDoc makes a couple of larger points — one about health care IT, and the other about Web start-ups in general.<p>...<p>An online appointment-scheduling service seems straightforward. But the founders — Cyrus Massoumi, its chief executive, and Oliver Kharraz, both former McKinsey consultants, and Nick Ganju, the chief technology officer — see their efforts in larger terms.</blockquote></li> |

Only office-leasing startup WeWork Companies Inc ., recently valued at $10 billion, and food-delivery service Blue Apron Inc ., at $2 billion, are valued higher as venture-backed private companies in New York, according to Dow Jones VentureSource.<p>...<p>Founded in New York in 2007, ZocDoc 's site helps people find and book medical professionals online for free. Doctors can advertise open appointment slots and fill them more quickly, paying a subscription fee of $3,000 per year for the service.</blockquote></li> |

Using the Internet, New York City-based ZocDoc allows patients to find doctors and doctors to fill their open appointment slots in real time. Like ZipCar, ZocDoc is essentially using technology to identify and use excess capacity.<p>While the average wait time across the country is 20 days for a patient to get in to see a doctor, a ZocDoc customer can get in to see a doctor within three days. And half of all ZocDoc patients get in to see a doctor within 24 hours.<p>...<p>When ZocDoc was founded in 2007, it served only New York City. The tech company now has around 500 employees and serves 2,000 cities. Five million users book appointments on ZocDoc each month. The company is private and so declines to share revenue or profit figures.<p>ZocDoc is obsessive about providing quality customer service, aiming to be the Zappos of health care. Several customer satisfaction performance statistics are constantly projected on the wall of the customer service center at ZocDoc's New York headquarters. When this reporter toured the headquarters in mid-January, the statistics being projected showed that 78 percent of phone calls to ZocDoc were picked up after the first ring and 85 percent of emails were responded to within the hour.</blockquote></li> |

Its logo, though, was hardly personal. In fact, it was a bit of a joke: an $80 logo that literally looked like “ZocDoc” typed in Helvetica in a word processor. (It has since been restylized without the capital ‘D’) “We got what we paid for,” laughs Richard Fine, Zocdoc’s vice president of marketing. Six hundred employees and millions of patients later, and that $80 logo is looking more and more like an 80-cent logo. That’s why today, the OpenTable of doctor’s appointments is unveiling a new identity. Designed by international brand consultancy Wolff Olins, the new Zocdoc aims to break ranks with the anonymous, dehumanizing health care industry by giving it a friendly face.<p>Center-focus in the new Zocdoc identity is Zee, an anthropomorphic logo that combines the letter “Z” with a human face. Placed upon a yellow background, Zee is Zocdoc’s official logo, but it can also be used in other branding contexts: for example, as a friendly face on a Zocdoc welcome page, an editable avatar for a user’s Zocdoc profile page, or as an animated mascot for a Zocdoc ad. Wolff Olins’s creative director Lisa Smith describes Zee as just as much a “playful friend” as a logo. “Zee was designed to be emotive and human, expressing different facial expressions,” she says. “Something as simple as a wink is something every human can respond to.”</blockquote></li> |

(ZocDoc accomplishes this largely through tapping into last-minute openings made available by other patients’ cancellations.)<p>ZocDoc appears to be gaining steam. The company, which employs 500, has seen rapid growth over the last year alone, doubling its user base to 5 million in the last six months. According to Massoumi, one of ZocDoc’s priorities moving forward will be offering new features like its check-in feature, introduced in late 2012, which lets users fill out their medical forms online ahead of time. Offers Massoumi: “There are so many ways to improve that white space between doctor and patient.”</blockquote></li> |

Four years later, ZocDoc has 700,000 registered users and has raised $70 million from investors, including $50 million most recently from Facebook investor Digital Sky Technologies. The website, most often described as the “OpenTable for doctors,” has five million appointments available in 10 markets, including New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Phoenix, and it’s hiring like mad. During a phone call with ZocDoc’s public relations director, Allison Braley, Betabeat was interrupted by what sounded like a foghorn. “Oh gosh, they’re blowing the horn,” she said, sounding shaken. “Every time we hire someone they blow the horn.”</blockquote></li> |
