Healthcare marketplaces make it super easy for more patients to find your practice, but how do you know they’re really helping or if they take your organic search leads?
Zocdoc and other healthcare networking platforms are great because they allow providers and patients to find and connect with one another. However, as great as they are at networking, they cost money and don’t encompass the full patient journey or improve patient experience. Read on to learn about our Top 3 Zocdoc Alternatives!
#1 – NextPatient
Their online scheduling platform integrates with your existing electronic medical records (EMR). They charge a flat cost per provider per month which means you don’t get charged per patient that books online.
The added scheduling volume can allow you to be more efficient with your call volumes and in-office workforce too.
#2 – Organic SEO, Content and Ads Strategy
Zocdoc primarily attracts patients through organic searches on Google and an ads strategy. Once you have an online-booking solution, the next step is to implement a organic SEO and / or ads strategy.
You can save money on your new patient acquisition costs by using similar strategies as ZocDoc on a smaller scale with a company like BlueHuki!
#3 – Healthgrades
Healthgrades specializes in dental, healthcare, and medical practices. With 10 million patient ratings, they have the largest healthcare professional profiles in the USA.
Healthgrades gives healthcare practitioners real-time insights into their online reputation. Best of all, it’s FREE for your patients. Medical professionals can claim their free account as well, with the option for a paid upgrade.
#4 – Vitals
