I would describe my experience as going someplace that you have no idea what to expect I did not know the doctor that I seen however, I did get a doctor that seems experienced and did listen to me. I got a consultation but I was in the same pain ,with no referral! I didn't know any more than what I knew at first. The assistant or receptionist did not really help me at all. I felt that I could have gone into any doctor's office , unknown ,and got the same thing that I got from zocdoc .com So far, I don't feel this was a positive experience for a patient seeking a referral to a good doctor!! I got a good impression from my doctor, but I didn't get any help for my immediate problem. (Extreme pain) I don't understand, no matter specialist of doctor it is, how a medical doctor can see you in extreme pain and don't try to do anything about it right then?
