What happens if a doctor cancels an appointment?

Asked 4 months ago
When a doctor cancels an appointment on ZocDoc, several things typically happen to ensure that the patient is informed and can manage their healthcare needs. First, the patient who scheduled the appointment should receive a notification about the cancellation, which may be communicated via email or through the ZocDoc app. This notification generally contains information regarding the reason for the cancellation and may also suggest alternative appointments with the same doctor or with other doctors in the area. Patients can review their options and choose to reschedule or look for a different provider if that is more convenient. Overall, ZocDoc aims to facilitate the process and ensure that patients are supported in finding suitable alternatives. For the latest information about managing cancellations or rescheduling, visitors are encouraged to check the website.
