The mark firmly establishes DocDoc as the go-to medical
specialist portal in Asia and underscores the company’s commitment
to bringing marketing expertise to the underserved medical
specialist market.
“Building Asia’s largest coalition of top physicians and
connecting them with patients is an exciting accomplishment for our
entire company,” said Grace Park, CEO at
DocDoc. “Our skilled sales team has done a first-rate job getting
doctors onboard, which has given us the opportunity to clearly
demonstrate our expertise in sourcing new customers.”
“Hands down, DocDoc is the best patient empowerment platform in
Asia because we’ve made the process fast, easy and free,” claims
Jon Samsel, CMO at DocDoc. “Patients using
DocDoc can quickly find the best medical specialist to meet their
needs, such as an ophthalmologist, plastic surgeon, dermatologist
or dentist, freeing up time to have more meaningful conversations
with their physicians about appropriate care.”
Waiting for weeks and sometimes months to find a specialist is
becoming all too common for patients in Singapore and South Korea.
Many are forced to wait up to three weeks to get an appointment
with a specialist. Patients can easily look for doctors by
searching through doctor profiles and once they find the right one,
viewing the exact time slots the doctor has available and then make
an appointment.
On the physicians’ side, filling empty appointments and
efficiently managing various marketing campaigns is a tough task.
DocDoc helps doctors source new patients by filling appointments
that are rescheduled or cancelled at the last moment.
To support Asia’s diverse population and cultural backgrounds,
DocDoc is available in multiple languages including English,
Simplified Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia. The
company’s website and mobile site, as well as its mobile app for
iPhone, are free for patients.
