Doximity

Similarly to what a colleague wrote, I'm no longer in practice. I now work for the State, which can entail being at up to 5 different locations in the course of a work week. "Retirement" from practice should not have to mean feeling that you've lost the "privileges" of being part of so noble a profession. And, let's face it, after nearly 35 years of getting the VIP treatment, it's hard to let go of that. Doximity's e-fax capability helps you maintain that status and professional independence. It's nice to have your office ("private practice") in your pocket. Recently I had to see three specialists and it involved a lot of imaging and labwork. To have virtually immediate access upon request or getting CC'd to your private, secure and virtual "office" is truly a luxury. While e-faxing has existed for years, using it in the Doximity context / community also helps keep me linked professionally. With regard to the quality of the articles and subject matter, I can definitely use an easy read from time to time. Grateful for the excellent job you're doing!

I make so many calls to patients after hours. I don’t want them to have my personal number. Some would take advantage of it!! I used to have to have a second phone. It was expensive to have a second plan but if I bought minutes it seemed like I either never had enough or I bought too many and they expired. Some of my patients don’t answer if they don’t recognize the number so I’d end up having to call again from the office. It was so frustrating! This app lets me use my office number so patients are more likely to pick up, saving me time later, and they don’t get my private number! No more carrying a second phone, paying for minutes I don’t use! I tell all my doctor friends about this app!

This app is amazing! I am a NP that found it hard to call Patients away for The clinic or office. Before I was able to call my patients through Doximity patients would not take my call because my personal cell number was blocked or came up as an unknown number and it was very difficult to reach them. Now when I call patients they pick up because they see is that office calling and they actually pick up the phone. I used to get so frustrated when patients know I would be calling them back and they wouldn’t answer the phone. This has decreased my level the frustration a great deal!! Now my patients know exactly who’s calling them! I am so happy with this app. Thank you

When I first signed up on this App I was amazed at the number of physicians on file. I was instantly updated with over half of my medical school class from 35 years ago. I have enjoyed giving my personal fax number to labs and other sources when I want immediate access to the data, like being on call on the weekend and I can then simply forward it to my office for filing. Saves me interrupting phone calls and scrambling to write down data. I am using it with my residents and faxing them information about patients we are co managing. This saves them multiple visits to my office to pick up printed records and reports. I appreciate the subscription service to journal abstracts, too. Bravo on this App.

I dislike being updated with several dozen people that may have been associated with me through medical school association or previous appointment association. I don’t know all of them and most of them are so far away- sometimes on the other coast. I dislike the notifications. Had to make sure they are off. I don’t want to know about these unrelated CME opportunities. I don’t want want to know about these related CME opportunities. I like the phone call masking my number for the Office number. That is worth all the cumbersome unused other features.
