How it works

From a search to a confirmed appointment

This is the company’s own description of the flow, in its own order.

01

Search

Fill in the search criteria: specialty, insurance, ZIP code.

02

Compare

A group of doctors is displayed. Research each of them and choose the one who meets your needs.

03

Pick a slot

Open that doctor's calendar and put your name in any empty appointment slot.

04

Confirm

Answer the questions on the next page. The doctor's office confirms or rejects the appointment.

05

Reminded

You get a confirmation and a reminder by email, phone, text — whichever you chose.

A doctor at work

No fee to the patient

There is no DrAvailable.com fee. Check with the doctor on their fee.

A doctor sitting with a patient
“Speak to Dr” put a form between the patient and a phone call, not a waiting room.

Instant

If you cannot wait for a slot

Appointment booking was one half of the service. The other half was a request for a call: fill the form, and a doctor or a consultant calls back shortly.

  • Speak to a doctor — form in, call back out.
  • Chat — messaging came before the appointment.
  • Prescriptions — the 2013 launch page promised prescriptions through the phone.

After you book

It was not booked until the office said so

The office confirms

A request went to the practice; the practice accepted or rejected it. Then an email said “your appointment is booked”.

Reminders, your way

Home phone, mobile, text or email — the system used whichever the patient chose.

Cancelled slots too

Openings included slots that had just been released, which is how a same-day appointment happened.
