Often they discover that they have huge deductibles and don't bother to let me know they have changed their minds and no shows are very expensive. Many of these people are apparently making appointments impulsively with only a vague sense of personal responsiblity, so many just don't show up without even cancelling. I suspected, and after doing some data sifting, discovered that the average age of these referrals was 29.9, with a range from 20 to 43, and the average age for no shows was 27.5. They have made almost as much money off of these referrals as I have. The average number of sessions attended per referral is 1.5, so I am netting $65 each. After 5 months I have gotten 29 referrals, 11 of whom have no showed, while the average I usually get is 1 out of 15. I decided to give them a try and use them for times in my schedule that are hard to fill. I pay $300/year and a referral fee of $50 each.

I am a psychotherapist and started using Zocdoc 5 months ago. I strongly suggest to the public, to IGNORE all reviews on as biased, and paid-for by the dentists listed there, as simply advertising for bad dentists who want to keep their secret. This site seems to 'protect' the dentists from negative reviews, hiding behind this 'review policy', without regard for the public users 'right-to-know' the truth about the dentists advertising on. When I read a review site, I'm not thinking of writing a review before using the dentist, and have NO need to view any 'review policy'. I offered to show proof I used the dentist in question, but wasn't given any consideration to do so, and was told, by the ZocDoc REP, the dentists advertising on their site request this policy. And was told to read their 'review policy' regarding it. I wanted to post a negative review about this dentist but was told I can not, because I didn't 'book' the appointment from the site, first.

After using a dentist, based on the 37 favorable reviews shown on, it turned out that dentist wasn't anywhere as good as the biased reviews said.
