Where do I initialize a database?

Where can I find or create a database of practitioners (dentists, doctors, orthodontists, lawyers, etc.) near a certain area? Solutions for one or multiple are appreciated.

  • I am offering a service that many small-businesses, specifically practitioners like dentists, doctors, and lawyers, would be interested in. I want to reach out to offices near my location (San Francisco) to explain my service to them. I am looking to find a database of all dentists, all doctors, etc. located near me. How can I find this kind of database? I had explored using Kimono or Import .io to scrape this data from websites, but I don't know where this information is available online.

  • Answer:

    Go to a healthcare insurer's website and perform a provider search. Most allow you to do this even if you don't have a policy with them, because when you're shopping for a policy, you want to know if your doctor accepts that insurance. If you need a list of insurance companies, visit your state's Insurance Exchange.

You could try scraping http://zocdoc.com for the medical industry? Its what I typically use to find the best doctors/dentists in my area.
