Providers

Overview

The Providers page is where you can find and work with doctors in a very simple and direct way.

When you open this page, you see a list of providers along with basic information like their name, specialty, location, and nearest available time slots, so you can quickly understand who they are without opening anything. At the top of the page, you have a search bar and filters that help you narrow down the list based on what you are looking for, and the list updates instantly as you type or change filters. The page is also divided into tabs (All, Followers, Following) so you can easily switch between different groups of providers depending on your relationship with them.

In simple terms, you use this page to find the right provider, check what they do, see when they are available, book appointments, follow them to stay connected, and chat, call, or share files with them — all in one place.

One very useful feature is that each provider card shows their nearest available time slots, allowing you to quickly pick a time and start booking without extra steps. If you need more details, you can click on a provider to open their profile, where you can see full information and take actions like following them, booking appointments, or starting communication. Following a provider is important because it enables chat and helps you stay connected with them. Once connected, you can send messages, share files, or start voice and video calls directly inside the system. Overall, this page is designed to help you go from finding a provider to interacting with them as quickly and smoothly as possible, without needing to move between different sections.

Providers List

This is the main part of the page where you see all providers.

Each provider is shown in a card with simple and useful information:

• Provider name, occupation and specialty
• Email
• Location
• Nearest available time slots

This means you can quickly scan the list and decide without opening each profile.

---

 

Quick availability

Each provider card shows the Nearest Available Time Slots (for example, Today, Oct 14) right below the provider’s details.

For example, you might see times like 10:00 or 10:30.

This allows you to:

• Quickly check availability
• Choose a time
• Start booking immediately

You do not need to open the provider profile just to see available times.

This makes the process faster and easier, especially when you are comparing multiple providers.
