The iOS App Review Ben mentioned:
★★★★★
I'm deaf, vocally impaired and along with PTSD and BPD. With HotDoc I can make my own appointment, get reminded, have the office of my Dr get in touch when it needs to be changed - and all done via the app and email. I just want to thank you for helping me become more independent and able to function.. 5 stars
