We believe that's a fair point. And we pledge to increase penetration of dentists and add physicians soon. But we appreciate that the WSJ wrote about us twice already (the first time was in the WSJ blog).

This is a plot of the number of bookable hours available on ZocDoc for every week from launch until today. We are proud to have a 4-fold increase in the five weeks since Rebecca wrote her article. We credit some of this increase to the attention we got after the Wall Street Journal mentioned us twice. Thank you Rebecca!
