Why do OB-GYNs choose Zocdoc?
Zocdoc is the best marketing solution for OB-GYNs
There is no shortage of marketing solutions for OB-GYN practices. And while many services have bold claims but fail to live up to them, Zocdoc is different. Zocdoc hosts the largest group of patients searching for care online.
OB-GYN is one of the top searched specialties on Zocdoc. Every month, hundreds of thousands of OB-GYN patients come to Zocdoc to search for an OB-GYN practice. Why? Because Zocdoc is the easiest way for these patients to find and book a provider based on location, visit reason, insurance plan, and more.
Zocdoc gives your OB-GYN practice marketing tools to stand out to the right OB-GYN patients for your practice. It also sets you up to create lasting relationships. On average, OB-GYN patients rebook with providers more than other specialties on Zocdoc.
Zocdoc also helps OB-GYNs build an online reputation through verified patient reviews. In 2022, OB-GYN providers had 224 verified reviews on average. These reviews help your website appear higher in search, and ultimately stand out to patients.
What problems does Zocdoc help OB-GYNs solve?
There are a variety of reasons an OB-GYN practice may look to bring in more patients:
- New OB-GYN doctors starting a practice and wanting to grow their patient panel.
- OB-GYNs wanting to provide a specific procedure or type of care.
- Larger practices looking to expand their patient base after hiring additional doctors or opening a new location.
- Obstetricians or gynecologists who moved to a new city and are looking to establish themselves in their new location.
Regardless of the reason, Zocdoc can help you attract more OB-GYN patients to your practice. Unlike other OB-GYN marketing services, Zocdoc goes a step further and helps practices find the right kind of OB-GYN patients for their specific practice. That’s what sets Zocdoc apart. Zocdoc gives providers a way to demonstrate their quality of care through their personal statement, photos, and reviews. And have control over the searches they appear in—by selecting applicable visit reasons and in-network insurance plans, listing availability, and more.
Helping OB-GYNs reach the right new patients
How does a new patient find a OB-GYN on Zocdoc?
Millions of patients come to Zocdoc every month to search for a new doctor. They hear about Zocdoc from friends, TV ads, podcasts, and more. Patients love how easy it is to find and book an appointment.
The first thing that stands out to patients is the search criteria. When they search for an OB-GYN, they enter their insurance information, location, and visit reason. And see results relevant only to them. Have you tried searching for an OB-GYN on an insurance website? It’s often just a giant list. Zocdoc helps patients quickly find the OB-GYNs that meet their needs.
Then, patients can compare OB-GYNs based on reviews, personal statements, and availability. OB-GYNs can take different approaches to care, and patients want to find an OB-GYN that’s the right fit for them. OB-GYNs also want to find the right patients for their practice. That’s why Zocdoc gives OB-GYNs, and all providers, an easy-to-use interface to add a personal statement, office photos, reviews, and more to showcase their practice to patients.
The right fit is important. And so is the right timing. OB-GYNs are in high demand and patients can often have a hard time scheduling an OB-GYN appointment. Zocdoc makes this process much easier for patients—and OB-GYN office staff. Instead of calling your OB-GYN office and asking a staff member to list all the available appointments, Zocdoc lets patients do this online. Patients can easily see your real-time availability and book an appointment directly. Online booking saves time for patients and OB-GYN offices.
When patients book an appointment, you will receive their information in your practice calendar. You can then send patients a digital request to submit their insurance cards and intake forms, before they come in for their appointment. Zocdoc makes it seamless for OB-GYNs to receive all the pre-appointment information they need from their patients. Plus, Zocdoc will send automated reminders to ensure patients show up to their appointment ready to be seen.
After the appointment, Zocdoc sends patients a review request to share their experience with your OB-GYN practice. These verified reviews help both patients and providers. Patients can gather more information about OB-GYN practices to help pick the right practice for their needs. And verified patient reviews also help with OB-GYN marketing by showcasing your quality of care to attract more new patients.
