Free, and free permanently

List your practice.

Eight minutes, no card, no trial that turns into a subscription. If you don't have a website, this becomes one. If you do, this is the page that answers the questions your website doesn't.

Step 1

Your NPI

Name, credential, and NPI. We match it against the national registry. Takes about thirty seconds.

Step 2

A practice email

We send a link to an address at your practice domain. Clicking it confirms you work where you say you do.

Step 3

The referral fields

Availability, licensure, rates, insurance, who you see, what you're good for, and what isn't a fit.

Step 4

Publish

Live immediately, with the date you confirmed it shown in plain sight.

What you get, at no cost

All of it, permanently. There's no paid tier to graduate into.

A page Google can find

Static, fast, and structured so search engines and AI assistants read it correctly. For a lot of solo clinicians this is a better web presence than what they're paying for now.

A printable referral card

One clean page you can fax, email, or hand to a colleague at a hospital lunch table. It has a QR code for the back of a business card.

"I have openings"

One tap when you get a cancellation. Anyone watching your state and specialty hears about it, and your listing surfaces for 48 hours. No payment, no auction.

A front desk login

Your office manager updates every clinician in the practice from one screen in under a minute. Realistically, they're the person who will keep this current.

Update without logging in

The confirmation email has three buttons. Replying with the word "open" works too. Nobody should need a password to say they're taking patients.

The free tools

A good faith estimate generator, patient handouts, and referral guides written and reviewed by a board certified psychiatrist.

Who can list

Any licensed clinician in the United States. The MD in our name is the brand, not the membership requirement.

  • MD and DO
  • NP and PMHNP
  • PA
  • PhD and PsyD
  • LCSW and LICSW
  • LMFT
  • LPC and LMHC
  • RD and LD
  • Other licensed clinicians

We check that you're the person you say you are and that you work where you say you work. We don't rate you, rank you, or let anyone pay to appear above you.

What we ask of you

One thing, and it's the thing that makes this site worth using. Keep the listing true.

  • Confirm your availability every 90 days. One click from an email.
  • Confirm the whole profile every 180 days. Also one click.
  • If you stop taking patients, say so. It costs you nothing and it saves someone a phone call.
  • Never post patient information anywhere on this site, including the referral board.

Miss the six month window and your listing goes dormant rather than getting deleted. It's hidden from search and out of the index, and one click brings it back for up to a year.

Start your listing

Tell us where to send the verification link.

Use an email at your practice domain if you have one. It's how we confirm the practice, and it means you skip a step later.

Public information. We use it to match you against the national registry.

We'll email you about your listing and the confirmation prompts. Nothing else. We never sell clinician contact information, to recruiters or anyone else. Privacy.
