I am a Dentist, and was contacted by ZocDoc, from the beginning i told them i was not interested, they were relentless and rude, claimed i didn't want to see new patients. I explained that my office does very well and doesn't need to pay a company to send patients my way, that if people are interested in seeing my practice then they are more than welcome to call and schedule. After being harassed for more than 10 minutes, i had to hang up. They are terrible.
We have been using Zocdoc for the past ten years (PCP), but under the new deceptive pricing policies ZOCDOC has turned into a scam. They charge us $40 for each new booking but ever since they started the new pricing model we are being swamped with fake bookings people, for different specialities, having no insurance and out of network being able to book with us despite our repeated warnings and clear instructions on our profile and ZOCdoc just does nothing to resolve such bookings. Customer service are very arrogant, and refusing to help. T. S. MD
ZocDoc takes all the pain, confusion and frustration out of finding the right doctor and making an appointment. It's simple to use and they make every step of the process easy. Find a doctor by location, specialty, insurance accepted or all of the above. They see you through to booking the appointment and send a reminder the day before. I can honestly say that after years of avoiding checkups and annuals and all those important things you need to do as an adult, I finally started going because ZocDoc made it so *******@mn easy.
I showed up for my scheduled appointment after having received a confirmation and then a text reminder only to find that the Doctor had no record of the appointment and did not see me. I took off 3+ hours from work for nothing.
I was able to find a wonderful provider who is in network and very close to home through this wonderful site! I had difficulties finding doctors accepting new patients on my insurance provider's site. I will always search ZocDoc first from now on!
ZocDoc was/is very helpful and offers lots of information. I was able to read reviews on the doctors and make a good decision when choosing who I wanted to go see. ZocDoc also sent reminders and that was needed with my busy life!
Booked appointment through Zocdoc, printed out my confirmation, took 2 trains and a bus to get there, only to find out that the practice had no record of my appointment and could only reschedule. Called Zocdoc on the number that is offered to people who post negative reviews, and was told that they "understand my frustration" but could not put me through to anyone that designs or implements their system... i wasted my time and my money today..
Sorry to hear this happened. We apologize for the inconvenience and know how frustrating this must have been for you. It sounds like we've already received your report, so we'll be able to follow up with the office to correct this situation. Doctors control their schedules, so we'll do all we can to align them on best practices for managing it. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns. -The Zocdoc Service Team
This site was super convenient and allowed me to find a doctor near me that had hours that worked with my schedule. I didn't have to negotiate with staff, ZocDoc let me see what was open and book it myself. When I got to the office all I had to do was sign 2 forms, all the questionnaires were done online, once, and never again! I love ZocDoc! Free market efficiency at it's finest.
A lot better than calling on the phone to make an appointment. I have called and have been told that there are no appointments available. Right away I have been able to book thru this site without wasting time.
ZocDoc is so easy to use, saves me a lot of time and I love getting the email reminders so I never miss an appointment! It's so great to be able to schedule/reschedule/cancel appointments all online!
Big thumbs up!
Booked my appointment through Zocdoc and it showed up in my online account... seemed great and easy... until I called the office to confirm and they didn't have my appointment on the books! Pull this site down - people have enough issues when it comes to medical problems and don't need to be thinking they have appointments scheduled when they do not! Thank goodness I called rather than finding out the day of after I rearranged my entire schedule around it!
Hi Amy,
This should definitely have not been your experience using ZocDoc. Our doctors guarantee the availability they list on our site is accurate, and immediately receive your appointment when you book. Could you give us a call at (855) 962-3621? We would be happy to look into what happened here.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I recently moved to the US from Australia and am new to the health system here. It can be very confusing at first! ZocDoc made it so easy for me to find a practitioner that I felt confident with and accepted my insurance. I would recommend!
We were out of town and I needed to get on the schedule of a very busy doctor. Was able to do this, pick my day, time and location without hanging on the phone forever. Appointment was made and confirmed within 10 minutes! Will use again!
Hi,
Please do not make any appointment through the ZocDoc app. It has outdated information. I would better use word misleading. Me and my husband got a huge bill of $900 only because the Zocdoc app has listed the physician doctor as IN NETWORK which is actually OUT OF NETWORK.
This can cause you unnecessary a lot of inconvenience. We got to know from our insurance company that they do not have dr. Sharmin Qureshi as in network anymore. It was back sometime in 2021. I did reach out to the customer service but havent received back any response. I have requested them to compensate this in some way but doesn't seem they will get back to us and compensate their mistake. It's us who has to pay off for their mistake.
Hi Noopur, we are so sorry to hear about the large bill you received. As it turns out providers are in charge of the insurance they provide on their profiles. Please give us a call at 855-962-3621 so we can look into this and offer some assistance moving forward. We are so sorry to hear about this experience.
Zocdoc has outdated information for my practice. It lists and old address and old phone number. I was told that they will only correct the inaccuracies if I pay their fee to join their service. Isn't this extortion? I should not have to pay them a ransom to simply remove inaccurate information.
Hi Susan,
I am truly sorry for the confusion here. You certainly do not need to join ZocDoc for us to remove inaccurate information, and I apologize if it seemed that way!
We definitely don't want an old address or phone number listed on our site. Please reach out to me at service@zocdoc.com or (855) 962-3621 so that we can delete this information ASAP.
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

This is an extremely convenient and user friendly service, that helps you find accurate info on what kind of medical health provider your looking for. All the doctors I have found through zocdoc have been amazing to say the least. This is my go to when looking for health care services. The customer service is also outstanding. You guys rock.
My appointment was correctly made and confirmed. What I was not happy about was the ongoing emails. I deal with enough email that truly needs my attention. The amount of emails from you grew to be more than I want to deal with over simple matters such as doctor's appointments. In fact if the unwarranted emails continue I will block the address and stop using your service.
Hi Priscilla,
We are so sorry if these emails were a little too much! Give us a call at (855) 962-3621 and we would be happy to help you with your notification settings.

The amount of negative reviews for this site is questionable. I have 3 cousins who are all providers on ZocDoc (in the same practice) and it has helped them ALL grow their patient base and even helped patients find them whose insurance reimburses higher. As far as the reviews, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure only patients can review.
Don't trust their doctor reviews. If you look at their reviews, they are overwhelmingly positive. I trusted these reviews and went to see a doctor with glowing reviews, but ended up having a horrible experience. I then submitted a review of my visit, but Zocdoc refused to post it even though the post had no sensitive or personal info in it. It seems to me that they discard negative reviews so people see a bunch of highly reviewed doctors that people will use their site to book appointments. Just go and compare reviews on Zocdoc of a certain doctor/office to other third party sites, and you will likely see the Zocdoc reviews are far more positive compared to other sites. For this reason, Zocdoc is a dishonest service and you should be cautious of using it.
Hi Peter, reviews are an incredibly important part of your healthcare experience, which is why we take them so seriously. Zocdoc publishes reviews that adhere to our review policy guidelines. To confirm, we want to create a useful, representative and reliable resource that you can depend on. That means we post positive reviews, negative reviews, and everything in between. Please give us a call at 855-962-3621 so we can further investigate this issue for you. We're happy to help! - The Zocdoc Service Team
I love using ZocDoc to find new doctors, make appointments and track reminders for my upcoming visits or when I should have another annual check up or other recommended ones.
I really like the ability to see all available time slots for appointments and to get it scheduled and confirmed without having to wait on the phone.
Answer: Hello Mark. Zocdoc offers a closed-loop review system that allows patients to share their experiences after being seen for an appointment booked on Zocdoc. These reviews can be found on each individual provider's Zocdoc profile. You can search for a provider at https://www.zocdoc.com/. Please let us know if we can help you find the care that you need or if there is a different set of reviews that you are trying to access at this time. You can reach our service team at (855)962-3621.
Answer: Hi Sandra, we hope that you were able to get the care that you were looking for. At Zocdoc, we are not able to offer any medical advice or guidance so we recommend you contact your doctor directly if you need to ever verify they will be able to provide the treatment you are looking for. Feel free to reach out to the Zocdoc team at (855) 962-3621 or service@zocdoc.com if there is anything we can do to help you find the care that you need.
Answer: Yes, prices appear to be around $44-180 now. Offices get charged this even for cancellations, no-shows, and fake bookings. Zocdoc has no built in protections to negate this type of booking behaviors. Why would they when they profit off it? Zocdoc also prohibits practices from talking about this fee as it violates their "community standards."
Answer: Hello Swetha. Thanks for reaching out. We'd love to help you find a doctor and book an appointment right online. If you go to www.Zocdoc.com, you can search for doctors by specialty, location, and insurance. You'll be able to see a list of doctors and their availability. Once you select a doctor, you can choose the time that is best for you. Once you complete the booking process, the doctor will receive your appointment information and confirm your appointment via email. This is completely free for you as a patient. Please give us a call at (855) 962-3621 if you need help with this or anything else!
Answer: Hi Amanda! That depends on the doctor's office! Every provider is different, so it would be best to get in touch with them about specific pricing information. Give us a call at 855-962-3621 if you have any other questions. In health, Mary M. Zocdoc Service Team
Answer: Hi Mallory! Thanks for your question! You can see a provider's reviews by viewing the full profile and scrolling down.

Hi Marol,
This is definitely not the service you should have experienced using ZocDoc. Could you please give us a call at (855) 962-3621? We want to follow up with this doctor's office, and help you get a new appointment!
