- ZocDoc comes to Sugar Land, bringing better access to doctorsPosted on: 2011-06-10ZocDoc launched in Sugar Land and other parts of Houston recently, bringing fast and convenient access to appointments with nearby doctors. ZocDoc is improving access to health care by allowing patients to find local doctors, sort by location and insurance plan, read verified reviews and book appointments online at ZocDoc.com or via ZocDoc’s iPhone App.
More than 240,000 appointments are available in the Houston area via ZocDoc.
ZocDoc’s search service is offered at no charge to patients, who receive around-the-clock access to medical providers’ schedules and verified patient reviews of local doctors. Appointments with primary care physicians, obstetricians/gynecologists and dermatologists are available in Sugar Land and other parts of Houston now and more specialties will be added soon.
A new patient booking an appointment for a routine physical from a Houston-area physician must wait 17 days on average, a study by national health care search and consulting firm Merritt Hawkins & Associates reported. However, 40 percent of all appointments scheduled by ZocDoc users occur within 24 hours, and more than 60 percent of patients secure appointments within 72 hours.
“ZocDoc helps residents of the Houston area receive the fast, convenient health care they deserve,” said Cyrus Massoumi, ZocDoc CEO and co-founder.
ZocDoc’s service also is available in New York, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. There are more than 4.5 million appointments available nationwide.
