NY-based Appointment planning and physician review service ZocDoc has announced today that they have raised $3 million in a Series A round of funding. The round was led by Khosla Ventures and David Weiden from Khosla Ventures will join the ZocDoc board. This is Khosla Ventures first investment in the consumer healthcare industry.

ZocDoc helps you book doctor appointments online and find immediate openings. You can also check out Yelp-style doctor reviews. The service is currently only available in NYC but the founders say San Francisco is coming in 2009. Check out our ZocDoc coverage including video demo, launch of dermatologists, What I’d like to see is pricing information when services are outside an insurance plan.

While ZocDoc isn’t as "sexy" as some of the other startups out there, it is one of the most useful out there today. I continue to be impressed with the service and how they are expanding into more healthcare practices. Last week I booked my first doctor appointment using ZocDoc and will have a full review after my appointment tomorrow.
