PROJECT
Build a Doctor Appointment Booking System Using the MERN Stack
In this project, we’ll learn to build a fully functional Doctor Appointment Booking system using the MERN (MySQL, Express.js, React, Node.js) stack. This full stack health care web app will enable users to search for doctors, view detailed profiles, check live availability, and book appointments through an interactive calendar. Key features include secure user authentication and appointment management. The project emphasizes responsive UI/UX, RESTful API integration, and dynamic slot scheduling with a MySQL database. This project is ideal for developers to master MERN stack development, React-based booking systems, and practical health tech applications.
You will learn to:
Build MERN stack applications through hands-on experience.
Enhance frontend development skills using React components and custom UI design.
Improve your ability to build REST APIs and manage sessions with authentication.
Connect the Node.js server to MySQL to store and retrieve data.
Use the Axios library to link React components with the Node.js server.

Project Description
Scheduling health care appointments is often a manual or fragmented process for both patients and clinics. This project aims to simplify and modernize that experience by helping developers build a robust and user-friendly Doctor Appointment Booking system. The solution is designed to streamline how patients search for doctors, view availability, and book consultations, replacing inefficient systems like phone-based scheduling or unstructured messaging.
This full stack web app will be developed using React, Node.js, Express, and MySQL, and will include two primary user interfaces:
1. Find a doctor and book an appointment
Users can:
Browse detailed doctor profiles with specialties, fees, experience, and reviews.
Select appointment dates via a custom calendar.
View real-time available time slots and book appointments with a reason for visit.
Receive confirmation and feedback upon booking.
2. Appointment management
Patients can:
Log in securely and manage their appointments.
View past and upcoming appointments.
Cancel bookings if needed.
