If you’re a “patient”, click patient and provide your details. See more on how we protect your information Privacy Policy. Check your e-mail and verify your information. Once you are verified you can begin your search.
Searching
On DocMatcher.com, you can search for absolutely anything you might need to find a doctor who is a perfect fit for you. You’ll be surprised what you’ll find. You can perform a basic search and filter down or an advanced search to really specify your needs.
You can perform a search without registering. However, if you want to make an appointment with a doc, message or use the tools, you have to register. Your new doc needs to know who you are. After all, you now know lots about them.
Booking an on-line appointment
That’s a simple one. Choose a doctor then select an open time slot. The doctor’s office will confirm your appointment. If your appointment is very soon or is looming and you haven’t heard back, give them a call to check. You will receive a reminder about your appointment at 1 week, the day before and an hour before your appointment.
Cancelling an Appointment
We all know stuff comes up and you just can’t help it. Be courteous and cancel with reasonable notice. If its last minute, be sure to call the office to cancel, just to make sure they got the message. On the rare occasion that a physician charges for last minute cancellation, their rules still stand. This should be explained when they confirm the appointment but it you have any questions, discuss it in advance. Remember, we want to help improve communication so talk to each other! If you just miss an appointment without attempting to cancel, your doctor can choose to block your ability to make appointments on-line with them. Everyone’s time is important. It just isn’t fair.
Messaging
Once your doctor confirms you as a patient, you can message him/her. We know you are respectful of your doctor’s time, so please only message if you think you really need to communicate something. DO NOT MESSAGE EMERGENCIES! We are yelling because we worry about you and we just can’t be sure your doctor will receive the message in a timely matter. That could cause serious problems if you really had an emergency. Call your doctor directly, call 911 or come to the Emergency Department (who knows you may even see our Founder)!
