Zocdoc helps put dental practices on the map by reaching more new patients and allowing them to digitally book appointments and treatments at your practice,
,It doesn’t take much to realize that we’re living in a social media world—just take a look around and you’ll see plenty of people, especially the younger 
generation, endlessly scrolling through tablets and smartphones. Because of this, I’ve found that traditional marketing strategies like mailers are not the best way to promote my practice and get new patients in the door. Instead, I’ve relied on social media, where I post funny and relatable dental videos, word of mouth referrals, and Zocdoc.,I started using Zocdoc because I saw the amount of traffic that it was drawing to other practices. Many digital marketing companies claim to do all the heavy lifting for you. But when you hand over the reins, you realize that you’re paying a lot for a very little return. With Zocdoc, I receive a high amount of new patients and website traffic at a good value. I only pay a fee for each first-time patient booking, and if the treatment that patient receives on their first appointment, plus any subsequent visits, is greater than the booking fee, it’s extremely worth it. It’s a win-win scenario that drives continual treatment at my practice.,When potential patients log onto the Zocdoc website, they can easily find whatever type of doctor or treatment they are looking for. So, it’s a vehicle that is continuously driving in new patients. As if a flood of new patients isn’t reason enough to consider Zocdoc, these new patients often refer their friends and family after they’ve received treatment. When one patient comes in from Zocdoc, it can give you 5 more patients in referrals alone.,On my practice website, there is a Zocdoc “Book Online” button that allows patients to select the reason for their visit and then schedule an appointment on a date that works best. Patients appreciate the easy access and convenience, so the ability to book online is a huge bonus. Plus, it syncs with my 
schedule so that patients can only book appointments in available time slots.,Like most people, whenever I go anywhere or buy anything, the first thing I do is look at the reviews to see if others had a good experience with that particular product or service. When it comes to your health, it’s important to choose a provider that you trust, or at least a provider that a lot of people have trusted and spoken highly of. Many of our patients leave Zocdoc reviews, which are beneficial not only from a marketing standpoint, but as a way to improve the patient experience in our office. Patient reviews are sent directly to us—offering a genuine way to get constructive criticism about our practice and take action if necessary. And, unlike other reviews sites, Zocdoc verifies that reviews come from patients who have actually booked with our practice.,I’ve recommended Zocdoc to quite a few of my colleagues—particularly the ones who are just starting out. I say, “Stop what you’re doing and just trust me. Try out Zocdoc to see if it works out for you.” And it does, just like I knew it would, because it did for me.
