How it works
From your situation to a short list you can act on.
This is how it works today in Dental, the first live domain. Other professions will follow the same steps when they open.
For people looking for a specialist
Four steps, free to use.
-
Choose a profession
Select Find a specialist and pick the profession you need. Dental is open now. Planned professions are marked as planned and cannot be searched.
-
Say what you need and where
On the Dental page, type a treatment, a specialty or what is bothering you, plus a city or neighborhood. Tekel asks for your device location only if you choose Use my location.
-
Tekel routes your request
A known treatment, specialty or name goes to the directory for that area. A description of symptoms goes to Smart Match when enrolled dentists in that market can be matched. If none can be matched yet, Tekel says so and shows you the directory instead.
-
Review and contact
Each Smart Match result shows why it may fit. Contact the practice directly, or send an appointment request where the profile offers one.
For providers
How a profile goes live.
1. Request or join
Dentists in supported markets join directly. Other providers send a short request and Tekel follows up.
2. Confirm the basics
Email ownership, phone by SMS, a validated practice address and a complete profile.
3. Human review
A person at Tekel reviews the profile and publishes it. Registration alone does not guarantee publication.
