AppointmentCity moves beyond dentistry into the rest of healthcare.

July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Atlanta, GA - AppointmentCity, an online platform to find and book dental appointments nationwide has now added other healthcare providers including General Practitioners, Pediatricians, and Surgeons as well as Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Personal Trainers and even Veterinarians.  The planned expansion into other areas of healthcare is a direct result of their success in the dental world where AppointmentCity signed up over 3,000 dentists across the country with available appointments and then matched the dentists with thousands of patients.

The AppointmentCity platform provides patients with an easy way to find providers near where they live and to understand more about them beyond their name, address and phone number. More specifically, it allows patients to book an appointment 24/7 so they do not need to deal with phone trees and closed offices. For providers, it gives them a way to market their open hours, especially in a competitive healthcare environment where every patient is important. It is an extremely effective new patient engine.

“We are excited to begin serving the other healthcare professions after having initially focused on the world of dentistry” says Sherwin Krug, Founder and CEO of AppointmentCity.  “We believe we are filling an important need for patients who typically have no visibility into their doctor’s schedule and are also bringing a much needed service to healthcare providers that are facing continued pressure to keep their practices on a growth track.  At a time where we pretty much do everything online including book flights, hotel rooms and restaurant reservations, booking healthcare appointments is an even bigger time saver”.
