CHICAGO--Dentists who need patients, and patients who need dentists now have a revolutionary new way to find each other, thanks to BRINGOdentist.com.

Recently launched, this service combines Internet and telephone technologies to help patients connect and schedule appointments with quality local dentists while giving dentists a risk-free, cost-effective way to rapidly build their practices.

"Often the biggest challenge for dentists has been finding and attracting new patients," said Steven H. Keller, DDS, a 30-year dentistry veteran and advisory board member for BRINGO.

"BRINGOdentist.com is an exciting new service that directly matches dentists with patients based on their location, preferences and immediate needs. With no up-front costs, why wouldn't a dentist join?"

BRINGOdentist.com has no upfront costs, membership fees, or risks. Dentists who join now will receive five free patient phone calls. Here's how it works, and what it costs:

* Dentists sign-up at BRINGOdentist.com, and are reviewed through the site's strict credentialing process.

* Patients seeking care log in to BRINGOdentist.com and enter when they want an appointment, how far they are willing to travel, their payment method, zip code, and telephone number.

* Within seconds, the patient receives a phone call from BRINGOdentist.com confirming their request and availability.

* Upon confirmation, BRINGOdentist.com's proprietary matching technology starts contacting dentists that match the patient's requests, and relays the pre-qualifying information to the office receptionist.

* The receptionist can then accept or deny the appointment request by pressing a number on their telephone keypad. If they accept the patient, BRINGOdentist.com immediately calls the patient, and instantly connects them with the office receptionist. Then the practice is charged approximately $30 for the service. Dentists who sign up now will receive five free patient calls.

"There's never been an easier, faster, less costly way for dentists to fill their waiting rooms," said Mark Grazman, principal and co-founder of BRINGO.

"Every day, 220,000 people go online to find a new dentist. BRINGOdentist.com quickly connects dentists with these potential new patients, using nothing more than the phone they already have. And since dentists can track how many calls and new patients come from BRINGOdentist.com, they'll have a clear picture of their return on investment. Direct mail and ads are costly, and there's no guarantee they'll reach the intended audience. BRINGOdentist.com is the answer."

BRINGOdentist.com is now soliciting dentists nationwide to sign up for this service, and hopes to boast traffic in five to 10 major U.S. cities within the next six months.
