Block, Inc (Square)
Great for booking and managing appointments. This software is very user-friendly due to its simplicity. The interface is intuitive and easy to use for all ages. The only time this software may not be appropriate might be with someone who is managing their calendar manually and not using a software solution at all.

If was a zero on the scale I would choose. if Zocdoc charged a flat fee monthly for a referrals that would make more sense. Otherwise they are the only ones benefiting from the service. They are a total scam! do not utilize them as a referral source unless you want to lose money! Zocdoc is completely OK with tacking on innocuous and inaccurate charges. Further, they refuse to work with you on paying it. as it stands, I will be filing a complaint with a Better Business Bureau. Zocdoc has been accused of violating the anti kickback law put into place to stop such predator practice. Given that soft dock is a corporation and they have hired a team of lawyers to speak legally used to squeeze their way out of taking responsibility. They know what they're doing is wrong. They just don't care

Zocdoc
  • high cost for customer acquisition
  • customers cancel and practice has no recourse, but must pay Zocdoc
  • Not enough time to verify the customer is sincere and get their paperwork in before Zoc Doc charges us
  • High cost of service for nurse practitioners
  • High rate of attrition- few customers converted to our practice compared to other methods
  • We were promised one rate per customer acquired, then the posted rate was increased, twice
  • Unable to even charge a no show fee for patients who changed at last minute
  • the service as set up encourages patients to bait and switch to other providers at the last minute
  • there is no way to limit incoming patients to your home state, so people from out of state book and then have to be notified and unbooked, creating extra work and hassle

if there was a rating of zero this is what I would give him. Perhaps -10? as I mentioned they are great at getting your referrals, just the wrong ones. There is no extremely process for getting the right client to the right provider. Their calendar sink does not work so they will book over the top of you frequently. They refused to work with you on a reasonable payment plan

  • Square Appointment is excellent at support! I have had several calls with them, and not one time have they dropped the ball, leaving me frustrated without a solution — not one time.
  • The community forum in Square Appointment can answer most of the questions, but if I have had real issues, I am always able to talk to a person. That is very valuable to me as a customer.

Though office can offer a lot of appointment base tasks. Square appointments seem to help keep track, with a more direct approach. It helps to declutter integrations and information, that can often get missed and feel to convoluted. It's approach is more specific in handling appointment needs and scheduling. We would recommend it.

I can't select it, but I do use psychology today. They charge a flat fee and allow you to list your profile and information on their website. I have gained many referrals from them for 1/8 of the price

  • I have lost money utilizing Zocdoc.
  • Even though they claim their calendars sync with Google, they frequently booked over me, which upset clients I attempted to work with.
  • When confronted with their unethical behavior, they basically have it "It sucks to be you" attitude.
