WE HAVE BEEN A PROVIDER CLIENT OF ZOCDOC FOR YEARS. THEY ARE EXTREMELY INCOMPETENT, YET RAISE FEES! THE DECIETFUL SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE CONCERNING. USED TO CHARGE A FLAT FEE THEN GOT GREEDY. CHARGE $35 EACH NEW PATIENT WHICH IS HALF THE PROFIT SOMETIMES. FOR A $10 DOMAIN A WEBSITE DOING ZERO WORK? WE ARE TREATING THEM. THEN THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE YOU FOR NO SHOWS AND CANCELATIONS ITS A FORTUNE LOST! PROVIDERS PAY IF SOMEONE BOOKS THEN CANCELS A DAY OR 2 LATER LIKE WE HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT! YOU CANNOT REACH OUT TO SOMEONE TO COME IN IF THEY ARENT YOUR PATIENT. THEY ARE ONLY A PATIENT ONCE THEY ARE SEEN OTHERWISE ITS HARASSMENT ZOCDOC USED THE EXCUSE THAT THEY CHARGE FOR THE BOOKING NOW THEY SAY THEY ARENT CHARGING FOR BOOKING THEY ARE A MARKETING COMPANY BECAUSE THEY KNOW ITS NOT ALLOWED YET THEY CANT EVEN MARKET THEIR ACCOUNTS CORRECTLY. 8 MONTHS THEY CANT LIST ACCEPTED INSURANCE PLANS CORRECTLY, PATIENTS SEE US OUT OF NETWORK, WE LOSE BOOKINGS. WE CONSTANTLY REACH OUT CHECK THOUSANDS OF PLANS. GETS FIXED IN 3-5 DAYS THEN DAYS LATER REVERTS TO OUT OF NETWORK. THEY CHANGED THEIR SETTINGS 9/2023 AND WE CANT EVEN ADJUST IT CUZ IT WONT SAVE. EITHER THEYRE SO INCOMPETENT OR THEYRE PURPOSELY DOING THIS. PERHAPS THEY WANT TO SHOW SMALLER ACCOUNTS OUT OF NETWORK SO THE LARGER ACCOUNTS GET ALL THE BOOKINGS IS MY BEST GUESS. THE WORST PART IS AFTER ALL THE LOST PATIENTS, BOOKING, STAFF TIME, AGGRAVATION THEY WONT DISCOUNT THEY ACTUALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO RAISE THEIR FEES AGAIN TO $37.50, AFTER 8 MONTHS WE GET OUR PROFILE CORRECTED, STAFF ONLY SAYS THEY WILL SEND A MESSAGE FOR ESCALATION! OUR ACCOUNT MANAGER DOESNT CALL BACK, WE NEED A RESOLUTION. EVERY ERROR WHICH IS EVERY COUPLE DAYS THEY SEND A GENERIC MESSAGE SAYING THEY ARE WORKING ON IT 2-3DAYS YET NOTHING EVER IS REALLY FIXED. C*** SERVICE W/ OUTSOURCED STAFF BUT CHARGE MORE.WHAT ARE WE GETTING WITH THE INCREASE? THEY DONT CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION WHILE CHARGING THOUSANDS MONTHLY.

I received a poor rating on Zoc Doc from a one time client. This client was unfair in the review and it has affected my business in a negative way. *** *** refuses to contact me or even review the circumstances of said review. Every phone call and message has not been responded. I wish to dispute the review, but Zocdoc is making it impossible to do so. My next step will be to contact an attorney.

The business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer either a) did not accept the response, OR b) did not notify BBB as to their satisfaction.
As a physician whose practice utilizes zocdoc as main referral base, my complaint is that Zocdoc has repeatedly affirmed That it is their new policy that a wrongfully placed negative one star review unrelated to my service should remain. The patient who posted was angry that they did not get to see the provider they desired within my practice. This person is anonymous and cannot be reached. Zocdoc has placed that blame on myself as the physician and as a result that negative review has damaged my ratings Score from essentially perfect 4.95 to 4.78. Though I am a paying customer through my practice they do not have the decency to correct this inaccurate and harmful review unrelated to my services. Ive lost all confidence with zocdoc as a result but will give them a final chance to remove the one star review with BBBs assistance.

They have still refused to remove the review that negatively impacts me DESPITE not seeing the patient myself. I want them to immediately remove this review as they have not provided any justification for accepting such a review. I will write negative reviews about zocdoc here and will withdraw from zocdoc which is acting unethically.

The business addressed the issues within the complaint, but the consumer either a) did not accept the response, OR b) did not notify BBB as to their satisfaction.
On March 6, 2024 our office was notified there was a problem with connectivity. We checked all of our computers and rebooted everything. There were no power surges or disruptions by the host computer. Patients began double booking and the office staff was thrown into chaos because the calendars weren't linked and therefore not current. This was extremely disruptive. Multiple staff members from our office called over 4 times between March 6 and March 25 where we tried to resolve the issue and were told the integration team was working on it. On March 26, I received a request from the integration team to schedule a call to re-link the system (this took place 3/28 at 10:00 a.m.). We had to reset my Office Ally passwords for two administrators and then create a new one because the administrative accounts were still not allowing the link to connect. Meanwhile, at 9:00 a.m. on the same date (March 28), I received an email that ZocDoc got an upgrade with new features. This leads me to believe the issue was on their end, not ours. We were without services for over three weeks. I asked to speak to sales to request a credit or future discount. I was told it's in their policy documentation they do not offer this regardless of whose fault it is. How can a business, in good faith, expect us to continue doing business with them when there is no accountability? We've been with them over 5 years and spend a lot of money for their product - not to mention how unprofessional we looked to new patients (as well as existing) for something we had no control over? It was over three weeks of no service. I'm highly disappointed and will most likely shop around for a replacement at this point in time.

On March 22, 2024 I made an appointment with Zocdoc at about 330 pm. Their site says they answer calls until 9 pm and if made before 8 pm the appointment would be made in an hour or less. I was given an email that said I would get a text with a link to join the appointment. That never came. Then I get an email saying I missed the appointment. I called and asked what number they were calling and the number wasnt mine nor the number I gave them. They said it was resolved and I would get a new link. That never happened and yet another email that I missed the appointment. I tried to call again and even though they say they answer phones until 9pm it was 512 and they were closed. *** asked for a refund and all I'm getting is the same run around. I sent an email asking for the refund and what I got back was why and whats the credit card info. They have all of that and so now I feel as if they are a scam.

I have been working with ZocDoc for a couple of months. The platform is designed to make it easier for patients to search for doctors in their area who match all of their criteria (type of service, insurance acceptance, location). However, ZocDoc has charged me $45 fees for every patient that has initially booked an appointment, then cancelled for the following reasons: 1) *************** clinic does not accept their insurance, 2) *************** clinic does not service their location, and 3) They are looking for a massage therapist. Every reason a patient has cancelled has been what the platform claims to filter; The goal being to match patients with the best provider matching their needs. *************** clinic only offers mobile, in-home, chiropractic service in *************, **. I have spoken with many representatives at ZocDoc about how to clarify and distinguish my clinic from others. However, there has been no resolution to offer patient clarity before booking and therefore, my clinic is still charged by ZocDoc for the "acquisition fee" regardless if I have tried multiple channels to reach patients within the hour patient's initially book. 100% of patients that have booked my clinic have ended up cancelling because my business is not what they were trying to find. However, I am repeatedly charged the $45 fee from ZocDoc. Instead of trying to resolve the issue, ZocDoc has stated that they will still charge my clinic on the basis that the patient needs to cancel the appointment themselves within 24 hours of booking. Again, I reach out to clarify my chiropractic service over text message, phone call, and email within 1 hour of each booking. However, most patients do not respond. The end result is most patients cancelling the appointment either day-of the appointment or 2 days after initially booking. My clinic is left with an "acquisition fee" and a whole in my schedule because the patient did not respond.

On the date of feb 28,2024, i made an appointment for march 4th that never took place. I accessed the portal and filled out the forms, then got confirmation that the forms were done, then when is came to the appointment they said they did not receive any of the forms, There was some confusion with my paperwork, I was not able to finish the medical forms due to not being able to access the portal to finish the forms. I had to then physically go to the office for help to re-access the portal. Also they had me scheduled for 3 appointments not of my doing, there was major confusion with the zocdoc. I will not be paying for the cancellation fee for a situation I had no control of.
