In a nutshell, patients use Zocdoc to locate and book appointments with clinicians who are in their area and covered by their insurance. These appointments can be for one-off medical procedures like fitting patients for contact lenses, or as a first step toward establishing an ongoing relationship with a specific practitioner. After the appointment, patients can leave a review on their practitioner's Zocdoc profile to encourage or dissuade other potential patients.
