Product Overview
Doctro is a turnkey PHP script that enables entrepreneurs, clinics, and health-tech startups to launch their own on-demand doctor appointment booking marketplace. Built as a SaaS platform, it bridges the gap between patients seeking timely medical consultations and healthcare providers looking to optimize their schedules and reach more patients.
The platform handles the full appointment lifecycle — from discovery and booking to payment and post-visit follow-up — while giving administrators the tools to manage doctors, patients, payments, and platform settings from a single dashboard.
