ZocDoc - My New Must-Have App
We moved into a new place in San Francisco just a few months ago and it’s been non-stop ever since. I keep my to do list on Springpad and one of the items just lingering was finding a new doctor. I always like to be prepared in case of emergencies, but with work and moving there wasn’t much time to get things done. Of course it’s times like these when it rains….it pours. One allergy attack, ruptured cyst, and 2 cases of bronchitis later we’re back on track thanks to ZocDoc.
I’ve been telling everyone about it because you can find doctor reviews and book last minute appointments online and through the iPhone app. Every appointment I made was booked within 24 hours and in the middle of the night.
Best part yet was we found amazing doctors that totally fit our style. It’s probably because more modern doctors willing to embrace the technology are the early adopters, but you know that’s perfect for us!
To be honest, all the ‘Groupon for this’ and ‘photo sharing for that’ startups have been starting to get blurry in my sea of RSS. It’s refreshing to see a startup tackle a major real-world problem with a clean and crisp design. They’re clearly doing something right because I’m sharing it with you like I just found a new local hangout spot or scored a daily deal.
