“The doctor I scheduled with doesn’t even work you guys anymore. I was in the waiting room for 30 mins until I got in touch with the doctor. He had no idea I had an appointment with him. You guys need to stop booking him I’m not the only one. I will not use Zocdoc in the future nor will I recommend it to anyone.”
