The Doctor Directory is a free directory of more than 72,000 US doctors built from the national NPI Registry. Each profile shows the doctor's specialty, practice city and NPI number. Search by specialty, condition or state below, compare profiles, and send a consultation request through the doctor's profile page.
The Doctor Directory is a free online directory where patients search US doctors by specialty, condition, state or city. Each profile shows the doctor's specialty, primary practice city and National Provider Identifier (NPI) number from the national NPI Registry. When you find a doctor, use the Send Inquiry form on the profile to submit a consultation request. There is no charge to search or to contact a doctor.
Doctor names, credentials, NPI numbers, specialties and practice locations come from the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database of US health care providers maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Providers keep their own registry records up to date, so details can lag behind a move or a practice change. Doctors who claim their listing can correct practice details, and patients should confirm the address and insurance with the office before a visit.
Search the doctor's name in your state medical board's online license lookup, which shows whether the license is active and lists any public disciplinary actions. Board certification is confirmed separately through the certifying board, for example the ABMS Certification Matters search. The NPI number on each profile here lets you cross-check the doctor's specialty taxonomy and practice address in the NPPES NPI Registry.
No. The Doctor Directory does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, prescriptions or treatment recommendations. It publishes listing and credential information about doctors so patients can find and contact a practice. For questions about symptoms or treatment, speak with a licensed clinician, and in a medical emergency call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Doctors and practice managers can claim a listing from the doctor's profile page by confirming a practice email address, then manage the profile from an owner dashboard. After claiming, the practice can update details such as phone number, website, hours, photos and bio. A basic listing is free, and optional paid plans for practices are described on the For Doctors page.
