SINGAPORE, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DocDoc Pte. Ltd. (http://docdoc.com), Asia's leading medical specialist appointment portal, has announced the six-month anniversary of its popular Appointment-By-Phone concierge service. The service has been delivering quality healthcare assistance by phone to patients since September 2012.
The service, the first of its kind to roll out simultaneously in Singapore and South Korea, meets the diverse customer service needs of active, on-the-go Asian healthcare patients by providing a convenient way to:
To utilize DocDoc's concierge service, English and Chinese-speaking consumers simply dial the Singapore hotline at 6684 8880 (+65-6684-8880 Intl). Korean-speaking consumers dial the Korean hotline at 070 4632 6637 (+82-70-4632-6637 Intl). By doing so, a customer care professional will handle everything from searching DocDoc's database for the right doctor or dentist to booking an appointment in real-time. DocDoc's Appointment-By-Phone concierge service is entirely free for callers and is available in English, Chinese and Korean.
As Singapore and South Korea's largest healthcare portal, DocDoc (http://docdoc.com) also offers a superior website and mobile app experience. Since DocDoc is the only medical appointment booking portal that is available in five languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Bahasa Malaysian -- DocDoc is able to provide localized medical tourism information and support services for patients throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including countries such as India, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Taiwan, mainland China, Brunei, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.
DocDoc's Appointment-By-Phone concierge service is the fastest and most convenient way for patients to find the right doctor or medical clinic without needing to access a website or mobile app. Oftentimes, DocDoc can even surface hard-to-find, last minute patient cancellations so that patients can see their doctor faster.
"Before the act of healing comes the act of caring. And connecting. That's what we do," said Grace Park, co-founder and CEO at DocDoc. "Delivering first-rate customer service is how we live up to our operating promise of superior patient care, be it online or over the phone. DocDoc's Appointment-By-Phone concierge service has been a big part of our success to date in Singapore and South Korea, a feature that will no doubt be emulated by other businesses whose level of service has not kept pace with consumer demand."
Medical professionals throughout Asia have applauded DocDoc's focus on the customer -- there are already over 29,000 doctor profiles listed on the DocDoc platform -- firmly establishing DocDoc as the largest and most comprehensive patient-booking platform in Asia. Additionally, DocDoc has over 1,300 key opinion-leading physicians who provide real-time appointment availability on its platform. Not too shabby for an online healthcare company that's a little over seven months old.
