Doctolib is a booking platform for doctors’ offices. The app promises to make it easier than ever to book an appointment. Here’s our Doctolib review.
What is Doctolib?
Doctolib is an app created by a French startup. The app raised another €26 million in funding this past week, building off $20 million it raised at the end of 2015.
The app promises to make it easier to book appointments with your doctor. Customers can use the app to browse and book doctor appointments for all different types of specialties. You can see when your doctor is available, for example, and then book an appointment with just a few taps.
There’s no need to call your doctor’s office. Doctolib will even send you a reminder the day before your appointment.
On the other end of things, Doctolib offers incentives for doctors. As a doctor, Doctolib will handle all of your bookings, which means that doctors can spend less time doing boring administrative work, and spend more time actually treating patients.
As of January 2017, TechCrunch reports that 17,000 doctors currently use Doctolib. The company is the leading player in France and is seeking to expand across Europe and then the world. Doctolib recently opened an office in Berlin, for example, and plans to expand across Germany over the coming months.
Doctolib Pricing
Doctolib is free for users who want to book appointments with their doctor.
Doctors, however, will need to pay about €99 per month. The app is bundled as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, which means that it totally replaces your existing booking solution. All you need to do is connect to the service’s backend, then manage your appointments from there.
17,000 doctors currently use the app, and Doctolib claims to add 1,200 more doctors every month.
