ZocDoc for scheduling appointments

Martha sent me a link to a new app, ZocDoc.  It is available in the iTunes store and it is free.  What the app does is to allow you to search for a provider and see available appointment times. Thc concept is awesome!  That said, if we are having difficulty getting providers to use technology.... you get the idea.
