SC Life: Team SocialCaddy meets Team HealthLeap

Today we are very excited: a couple of team members of HealthLeap , our favorite NYC startup and sister company of SocialCaddy, are working with us out from our Athens Office. Debugging had never been so much fun!

Have you heard of HealthLeap? If not, it's the easy way to make an appointment with your physician. That's how we do it! No more phone calls, no more planning 3 weeks in advance, no more tears. Like the opentable for doctors.

There are a couple of other sites in the same space. But we really prefer HealthLeap. Why is it so much better? The HealthLeap team has the answer:

"Coming from families of physicians, we know how frustrating the business lives of private practitioners can be.  Physicians didn’t go to medical school to be in business – but with 87% of physicians in practices of 5 physicians or less, they are often times splitting their time with patients to essentially run a business.

Moreover, now that patients are moving en mass online, running a practice means creating a website, leveraging social media, and even offering the convenience online scheduling. We thought - why not make this all easier for physicians and other health practitioners?

As patients ourselves, we have to admit, we also got very excited about the idea of being able to find health practitioners and book our appointments online, even on the weekends or after a late night at work. We couldn’t wait to get started on HealthLeap!"
