The combined company will be known as DocDoc Pte. Ltd. The company will combine facilities and operate its headquarters in Boat Quay, Singapore.

The new integrated entity will have dominant market share in Singapore, a substantive foothold in South Korea, and plans to expand operations into three new countries by end of 2013. DocDoc is a community of over 500,000 engaged users searching for health-related information and healthcare services each month. This makes DocDoc the preeminent Internet destination for health-related information and medical appointments in Asia.

The organization includes key investors such as Mr Koh Boon Hwee (former Chairman of DBS bank, Singtel, and Singapore Airlines), 500 Startups (leading Silicon Valley VC led by Dave McClure, formerly with PayPal and Facebook), Jungle Ventures (a Singaporean VC, backed by the Singapore Government's NRF program) and Michael Brehm (Founder of Rebate Networks, Business Angel of DailyDeal which was acquired by Google, brands4friends acquired by eBay, and scoreloop acquired by RIM).

"This is a very exciting deal because it combines DocDoc's strength in the medical industry with DoctorPage's expertise in digital marketing and patient acquisition," said Bill Hawkins, current CEO of Immucor, Inc., former Chairman & CEO of Medtronic and investor in DocDoc. "The new company fits the early-stage pattern of successful consumer internet companies, and is on track to creating a distinguishable brand in e-health commerce."

The combined company's management team will draw upon the experienced group of leaders from both companies.

Grace Park has over 10 years of healthcare experience, most recently as the Managing Director of ASEAN operations for Medtronic. Grace will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the new organization.

Max-F. Scheichenost co-founded DailyDeal GmbH, a popular deal-of-the-day e-commerce shopping destination which was acquired by Google in 2011. Max will be the President of DocDoc.

Dr. Dawn Soo is a medical physician by training with clinical experience in both the public and private healthcare sectors in Singapore. She holds an MBA from top-tier business school, INSEAD. Dawn will be the Chief Operating Officer of DocDoc.

Daniel Endres was Entrepreneur in Residence at DailyDeal and Operations Manager at home24 in Berlin. Daniel will be the Chief Information Officer and Interims- Chief Financial Officer of DocDoc.

Jon Samsel was Managing Director and Founder of RoadLoans, a division of Ford Motor Company and served as SVP of Digital Marketing for Bank of America. Jon will serve as DocDoc's Chief Marketing Officer.

"We are thrilled to combine the strengths of these two dynamic organizations in an industry that is ripe with opportunities," said Grace Park, CEO. "We believe the union will bring together the best of two successful companies for faster expansion, superior customer service, innovative digital health solutions and improved efficiencies."

"DoctorPage and DocDoc share a common goal to generate more business for local doctors and dentists while providing the best possible service to patients," said Max-F. Scheichenost, President. "By combining our complementary networks, we are well positioned for accelerated growth in a massive Asian market."

Outgoing President and CTO John Sharp, who led the deal negotiations for DocDoc, said "This deal cements our reputation as Asia's leading healthcare portal. I'm thrilled to have played a role in bringing our two companies together. It's not only a 'win-win' for us, it's a win-win for Asian doctors and consumers as well."
