Buoy is a healthcare marketplace that connects people with the right treatment options for their situation. Buoy helps people learn about treatments, which they can choose to use. Treatment providers pay Buoy to have their information on our platform. Buoy only shows providers on our website when their services are clinically relevant in helping the user address their symptoms or conditions.
