Our Mission You call. You wait. You call again. In every other part of your life, you book in seconds. In healthcare, you’re blocked.   We’re here to give power to the patient.  For nearly 20 years, we’ve built the leading healthcare marketplace - helping tens of millions of people find and book the care they need. Now, we’re going further: building our infrastructure beyond Zocdoc’s marketplace to power access to care wherever patients search, from provider websites and insurance directories to search engines, AI platforms, and more.
