Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I have tried to use Zocdoc for YEARS to find medical help. Not a single appointment ever worked out because none of them actually took my insurance despite Zocdoc saying they did. I would give it zero stars if I could.

The app crashes when you open doctors with multiple locations. Other than that the app is pretty helpful when it does work. The website runs better than the app honestly.
