I posted about an other online service at Medgadget.com. ZocDoc uses the advantages of web 2.0 to make it easier to find and book a dentist or doctor. Currently available only for Manhattan based clinicians, since its launch in November 2007, it has been mentioned in The Wall Street Journal and Venture Beat, and was a presenting company at the TechCrunch40 conference. Patients can make a search for a doctor or dentist based on the location, appointment date, the reason for one’s visit, or the patient’s insurance coverage.

- find doctors and dentists in your neighborhood,
- judge their quality by patient reviews & ratings,
- book them online 24/7.
I have used the service you mentioned in the article but prefer interactive websites like http://onlineconsultation.com which allow you to search for a doctor or dentist and begin an online consultation to determine if the professional fits your needs.

I have a fishy and stale smell and I wash daily. I went to the gynecologist and they say I dont have a yeast infection, BV, or STDs. I have an abnormal pap smear that is it. I was wondering what to do about the smell. Haue a nice day.
That’s a very unique way of looking at it!
