At the moment ZocDoc.com is only useful for people who live in the New York area. Hopefully there will soon be doctors and dentists available in other states as well. Although you can get other users reviews on the dentists most people like to be referred a dentist by someone they know personally. Will people trust other users' opinion and give ZocDoc.com a chance?

| This sure is a great concept however, how will they manage dentists joining various insurance/noninsurance plans and dropping out of the others. With dentists it is like herding cats. There have been similar attempts before nationwide, like http://LocalDentist4Less.com with limited success. | ||
