Connecting People and Dentists Has Evolved
For decades, services have connected people seeking dental care with dentists seeking new patients.
The method of making that connection has evolved.

PROCEDURE-SPECIFIC MARKETPLACE
ShopADoc® enters at a different point in the dental care journey:
After Examination
After Diagnosis
After Presentation of a Treatment Fee
The Client enters the marketplace with a previously diagnosed treatment need, establishes the Ask Fee they are prepared to pay and determines how far they are willing to travel.
Participating dentists review the treatment opportunity and current Ask Fee before independently deciding whether to participate.
**If the opportunity is appealing, Engage.
If not, Pass.**
ShopADoc® advances the connection from finding a dentist or booking an appointment to presenting a specific, previously diagnosed self-pay treatment opportunity for dentists to independently evaluate.
Following pairing, the dentist independently examines the Client and confirms the diagnosis, treatment requirements and clinical appropriateness.
All clinical decisions remain directly between the Client and dentist.
Strictly Fee-for-Service.
Insurance Claim Submission Prohibited.
