Looking Up a Doctor

Are you looking for a doctor? There are various online resources that can help you. Start with the American Medical Association's DoctorFinder, https://extapps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder/home.jsp. DoctorFinder provides you with basic professional information on virtually every licensed physician in the United States. This includes more than 814,000 doctors.AMA member physicians are offered an expanded listing that contains additional information such as office hours, accepted insurance providers, educational history and other helpful information.

If you're looking for a New York doctor, try the New York State Physician Profile website, http://www.nydoctorprofile.com/welcome.jsp. Here you will find profiles for all licensed doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy who are registered to practice medicine in New York State. This information can help you choose a doctor or find out more about a doctor you go to now.

The database ReferenceUSA, http://www.referenceusa.com/, has a U.S. Healthcare component where you can search for 855,000 physicians and dentists. So this is an additional place to search for your doctor.
