ABOUT ROCKET DOCTOR
Rocket Doctor is a digital health platform and marketplace that breaks down obstacles limiting access to quality, comprehensive, and cost-effective healthcare. Our proprietary software equips doctors with the tools to run successful independent practices in virtual and hybrid in-person models of care, enabling them to provide tailored support to patients in rural and remote communities as well as patients on Medicaid, across the United States, with an initial focus on California, New York, and Maryland.
