Zocdoc takes 30% of every new patient. Practice Fusion forms are stuck in 2014. You'll have a working site, doctor roster, and WhatsApp scheduling flow before lunch — and you keep 100% of the patient relationship.
Patients pick a doctor + slot, WhatsApp opens with the appointment pre-filled. Confirms instantly. No phone tag.
Custom intake forms per visit type. Patient fills on phone before arrival. Saves 15 min per visit at the front desk.
Each provider has their own page, credentials, accepted insurance, and reviews. Helps new patients self-select the right doctor.

We're HIPAA-aware: our public pages never display PHI, and our backend tier 'Clinic OS' supports BAA agreements before any PHI flows through DCS. Free and Pro tiers handle public-facing marketing + appointment-request capture only — no PHI processing. Talk to us before going Clinic OS-live to sign the BAA.

Practice Fusion integration ships on Clinic OS (BAA required). Athena Health and DrChrono are on the roadmap — talk to us if you need them before generally available.
Clinic OS includes a real-time eligibility check stub. We don't process insurance ourselves but connect to common eligibility-check APIs (Pverify, Change Healthcare) on the live tier.
Zocdoc charges $200+ per new patient. DCS is a flat $49-249/mo regardless of patient volume. Your traffic stays your traffic. We don't show competing clinics on your site.
