One of my favorite on-line sources to look up doctors (because the dictators rarely ever spell a doctor's name for you) is www.healthgrades.com. You can look up by specialist, city, state, a sounds-like name. I almost always find what I am looking for. ;D

The above link lists non-AMA members as well as AMA members. Also has a "sounds-like" feature, which I like, as I just cannot get used to the fact that "Q" makes the "K" sound in Middle Eastern names...

The above link lists ANYONE who holds a license in the state (Wisconsin, in this case, as that is where I live and work). We're talking about dance therapists, audiologists, social workers, acupuncturists, etc. Nice for locating non-MD health care workers.

Again, nice as it has a "sounds-like" feature.

Hope this is not a stupid suggestion, but there have been times where my quickest (and sometimes only) way to find a doc, nursing home, or other facility has been this version of the good old phone book.

Hope this may be of some use to somebody out there!
