I am thankful to ZOCDOC. The Doctor diagnosed my problem right away. I have a follow up appointment tomorrow afternoon. I waited maybe 15 minutes before seeing the doctor. I had gone to the emergency room the Saturday prior to this appointment and they diagnosed me with the wrong thing. The most important thing is my insurance plan was accepted. Excellent service ZOCDOC.
