Zocdoc.What AI reads there.

A directory that AI assistants may draw on. What is documented, who it matters for, and how to fix your listing. Cost: Free profile. A one-time fee for each new-patient booking, which varies by specialty and location; bookings through your own site or Google profile aren't charged.

The short answer

Updated

Zocdoc is a booking marketplace where patients find providers by insurance and availability. A profile is free, and practices pay a one-time fee for each new-patient booking. Zocdoc says providers automatically become bookable from the Google Gemini app when they have open appointments. It suits dental, orthodontic, chiropractic and physical therapy practices that take insurance.

Does AI use it?Only what's documented.

Each row links to the maker's or the platform's own words. Where nothing is published, we say so.
