Xoova - Free Physician Search and Appointment Service

Nice free service for physicians and patients...it is pretty basic and simple. Patients can also make appointments online. The office chooses the options and times to make available and it appears you can upload registration forms to be filled out prior to an appointment...the service notifies you when an appointment is taken with the information needed for your appointment book. Patients get an email 24 hours prior to their appointment and that might save some phone calls. The service is free for both patients and physicians. I tried some search and it is pretty open and straight forward. BD

Physicians using Xoova are reporting new patient yields 5-10 times better than phone-based referral services. And in December alone, Xoova saw 500% growth in page views to physicians who offer online appointment scheduling via the service, consistent with a December 2007 Wall Street Journal poll revealing that 77% of adults want to be able to schedule an appointment with their physician online.
