### 1/5 — Love the idea, but doesn’t work

*2025-01-13*

The app told me that there weren’t any doctors in 100 miles for the field I was looking for. So I tried a specialist I know exists within 30 miles and the app still told me it couldn’t find anyone.

### 3/5 — Great concept

*2022-09-27*

Great concept unfortunately it isn’t helpful to make particular area as it states there aren’t any doctors in any of the categories within 100 miles of me. I can’t add any doctors because I don’t know any in the area and I was hoping this app would help me. Definitely like the idea though.

### 1/5 — Great concept, but where are the doctors?

*2021-02-18*

Zero black doctors within 50 miles of Atlanta? Not really understanding why the app was built so well but there is barely anything is loaded in. Not helpful at all.

### 2/5 — A good  idea but not yet developed

*2021-01-05*

I was contemplating making this App myself when I decided to search for an existing one instead. Kind of surprised there are 0 black doctors in all of New York City. Not sure what that’s about or how doctors are added to the database but wanted to put it on your radar. This is a much needed resource and I hope someone will have the time and resources to fully develop it further. Deleting the app for now but hoping to see this become successful in the near future so I can return to support.

### 3/5 — Easy to Navigate

*2020-09-10*

The app is easy to navigate. Thank you for creating this app. Is there a way that patients can submit doctors? My entire healthcare team is Black & they aren’t listed. I know other Black doctors who I would love to add to the app so others can be aware of their services. Thanks!

**Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback. We will be adding this feature in the next update. Stay tuned!

### 1/5 — Locations

*2020-08-26*

Hi! I clicked every specialty on this app and each time I get a message that there are no doctors within a 10 mile radius from my house. When you go to Zocdoc there’s over 50. I live in the middle of DC this can’t be possible.

**Developer response:** We are constantly adding new providers to the app daily. We hope to continue to grow and be a valuable tool for many. Thank you for your feedback.
