Standby MD
originally “medical standby line”
You call to book a doctor. First opening? Six weeks out. So you take it, and you wait. Here's what nobody tells you: people cancel constantly. That perfect Tuesday slot opens back up and vanishes. Nobody's watching for it. That's Standby MD. Think of the standby line at the airport, but for medical appointments. You tell us what you're already booked for and when you'd rather be seen. The moment someone ahead of you cancels, we ping your phone. One tap, the earlier slot is yours. No calling the front desk, no refreshing a portal. For you, that's getting seen days or weeks sooner. For the clinic, it's filling a cancellation that would've been dead air on the schedule. I want to start with clinics right here in West Michigan, where a six-week wait to see somebody is just normal now. Standby MD catches the open slots before they slip away.
For patients waiting months to be seen: grab canceled slots the moment they open — and help clinics fill dead time.
Thumbs count toward the board.
