Why do psychiatrists choose Zocdoc?
Zocdoc is the best marketing solution for psychiatrists
Zocdoc is where psychiatry patients go to find appointments. As the top marketplace in healthcare, we get hundreds of thousands of psychiatry patients searching for a practice monthly. We make it simple for these patients to discover and choose the right psychiatry practice based on criteria like location, conditions/disorders, insurance, and a lot more.
Not only do psychiatrists love that Zocdoc helps them connect with a large quantity of patients, we also help them connect with the right kind of patients who match the characteristics that are most aligned with their practice needs. While this is important for all specialists, we know that this is particularly so for psychiatrists. There are psychiatrists on Zocdoc who have been using us to reach new patients for over 10 years—how many new patient sources can say that? What’s more, the average psychiatrist on Zocdoc has 84 verified reviews!
We think these numbers speak for themselves, but the best way to evaluate whether Zocdoc would work for your psychiatry marketing needs is to try it today. We’ll show you how simple it is to reach the right new patients for your practice.
What problems does Zocdoc help psychiatrists solve?
Why do so many psychiatrists choose to join Zocdoc? Oftentimes, it starts with a psychiatry marketing challenge that Zocdoc is uniquely poised to address. For many, it’s as simple as “I want to reach more new psychiatry patients and grow my patient base.” For others, it could be about filling holes in their schedule—particularly those caused by last-minute openings.
Every practice has their own specific needs that color what they look for in a marketing program. Here are some typical ones from our psychiatrist clients:
- They’ve opened a brand new practice, or hired a new doctor and need to create a new source of patient acquisition.
- They’re considering retiring and want to boost the value of their practice by growing their patient panel as they prepare to sell.
- They wanted to focus their practice on patients who closely match the exact conditions and disorders they specialize in treating.
And of course, every psychiatry practice owner wants to make sure their marketing dollars yield the best possible return.
While the individual reasons might vary, the bottom line is usually the same. No matter the reason, we offer a great marketing solution for psychiatrists; advertising to consumers and attracting patients who are searching for appointments is our specialty, and we help more patients find psychiatrists than any other platform.
Helping psychiatrists reach the right new patients
How does a new patient find a psychiatrist on Zocdoc?
Every year, we reach millions of potential new patients through a variety of advertising methods, such as TV, mailers, podcasts, digital ads, paid search, Facebook, and more. Because of this, we get over a million patient searches on our website and app each month for patients looking for an immediate psychiatry appointment. And those who know us, love us and keep returning to make more bookings.
These motivated patients can see your real-time availability and book right away. Whether they want to be seen for depression, ADHD or have a more specific psychiatric issue, patients can find and choose your practice based on your preferred visit reasons, insurance types, and more. That means unlike many other psychiatry marketing approaches, you’re only reaching the right kind of patients who want to be seen now.
Once new patients have booked an appointment, we collect their intake information online in advance and send appointment reminders—so they show up ready to be seen. We even solicit reviews after they’ve visited your psychiatry practice to help attract other new patients.
