Welcome to ShopADoc® — The Dentist Marketplace®, a transparent, interactive, fee-for-service marketplace bringing Clients seeking previously diagnosed dental treatment together with licensed dentists seeking treatment opportunities.
A Fair Fee Isn't Dictated. It's Agreed Upon.
Clients establish an Ask Fee — the amount they are prepared to pay for previously diagnosed dental treatment. Dentists view the treatment opportunity and current Ask Fee and independently decide whether the fee works for their practice.
Until the first dentist engages, Clients may increase their Ask Fee if the initial amount does not attract participation. Once dentist participation begins, the auction proceeds according to ShopADoc® marketplace rules.
Clients decide what they're willing to pay. Dentists decide what they're willing to accept.
Transparent. Fee-for-Service.
ShopADoc® was created by Dr. Jeff Molloy, a practicing dentist with more than 30 years of experience, who recognized a growing divide between Clients seeking fair, transparent dental fees and dentists requiring fees that make economic sense for their practices.
Quality dentistry has real costs. Clients deserve transparency and the ability to determine what they are prepared to pay. Dentists must account for the professional expertise, staff, materials, laboratory expenses, and operating costs required to provide quality dental care. ShopADoc® provides a marketplace where those interests can meet.
For Clients, ShopADoc® provides a transparent means of presenting previously diagnosed treatment and establishing an Ask Fee they are prepared to pay.
For dentists, ShopADoc® provides an additional channel of treatment-ready, fee-for-service opportunities. Dentists can view available treatment opportunities and current Ask Fees within their service area and engage only when an opportunity works for their practice.
In the Locums model, a dentist leaves an established practice for an entire day to travel to a contracted office to earn hourly income. ShopADoc® approaches the same objective from the opposite direction — the opportunity travels to the dentist's existing practice, eliminating the need to leave the office and allowing the dentist to pursue additional clinical opportunity while preserving the revenue-generating potential of the established practice throughout the workday — potential that may exceed the fixed hourly compensation of a Locums engagement.
Two Paths to the Same Result: Additional Clinical Opportunity.
ShopADoc® is designed to create economic efficiency on both sides of the transaction — providing Clients an opportunity to reach a fair fee while providing dentists access to treatment opportunities without the additional advertising expense ordinarily required to generate them.
ShopADoc® does not determine what constitutes a fair fee. The Client determines what he or she is willing to pay. The dentist determines what he or she is willing to accept. The marketplace provides the opportunity for agreement.
ShopADoc® makes no representation, warranty, or guaranty regarding the success of a pairing, the successful outcome of any service rendered, appointments made, or Clients retained. Users determine the outcome, if any. ShopADoc® solely provides an opportunity.
All ShopADoc® Verified Dentists have had their credentials confirmed through the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry.
ShopADoc® has no responsibility or liability to arbitrate an outcome in the event of an unresolvable dispute. Both Client and dentist agree to indemnify and hold harmless ShopADoc® from any responsibility for damages suffered by either party as a result of a pairing.
ShopADoc® is not a healthcare provider and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The platform facilitates introductions between Clients seeking previously diagnosed dental treatment and licensed dentists.
Any doctor-patient relationship is established solely between the Client and dentist, independent of ShopADoc®.
