    David Hamilton reflects that the notion of scheduling doctor appointments online sounds mundane. Xoova prefers to think of our service as incredibly useful for the millions of people who are seeking medical information online and wish to take action on the ubiquitous phrase "see your doctor." Fact is, the "mundane" tasks of booking a flight and reserving a restaurant table online haven't truly translated to medical services.

    And we aim to give doctors those free tools to not only immediately offer online appointment scheduling, but to share their philosophy of care, their clinical expertise, offer forms for patients to download in the comfort of their homes, and share recommendations, referrals, and testimonials. It's a doctor and medical services directory for the Health 2.0 world.
