Healthgrades Doctor Scraper

Turn any Healthgrades search into clean, structured physician data. Search by specialty + US city, or paste /usearch and /physician URLs — and get one flat row per doctor with name, specialty, star rating, review count, NPI, address, phone, accepted insurance, telehealth and appointment availability. Flip on detail mode to add each doctor's biography, education, languages spoken, procedures and full office list.

Built for healthcare market research, provider-network and referral analysis, credentialing, and physician lead generation across every specialty.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

• Rich rows out of the box — ~30 fields per doctor from the search results alone: name, specialty, star rating, review count, NPI, gender, years of experience, address, image, accepted insurance, telehealth and same-/next-day availability, plus Healthgrades badges (Recommended, Patient Favorite, HG Choice).
• Two ways in — specialty + location searches, or direct Healthgrades /usearch and /physician URLs. Mix them in one run.
• Clean 200s, no captcha — every request routes through US residential IPs with a real browser fingerprint, so you get the real page and full data.
• Full profile on demand — turn on Scrape doctor profile pages (or paste a physician URL) to add phone number, biography, education and training, languages spoken, procedures and the complete list of office locations.
• No brittle DOM scraping — reads Healthgrades' embedded app data, so the output stays stable when the page layout changes.
• JSON, CSV, Excel or API — pipe straight into your sheet, CRM, BI tool or pipeline. Billed per doctor.

📥 Supported inputs

Input	Example	What it does
Specialty + location	Cardiology|New York, NY	Searches Healthgrades and paginates the doctor results
Specialty only	Dermatology	Searches that specialty nationwide
Search URL	https://www.healthgrades.com/usearch?what=Cardiology&where=New+York	Paginates that search's results
Physician URL	https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-jane-doe-abc12	Scrapes that single doctor in full detail

Not supported: patient records, appointment booking, login-only or account data, and anything behind a Healthgrades login. The actor reads only public search and physician-profile pages.

⚙️ How it works

1. Classify every input — Specialty|Location pairs become search URLs; pasted URLs are sorted into search vs physician.
2. Fetch each page over a US residential IP with a real browser TLS fingerprint, so the full page is returned.
3. Parse the page's embedded app data — a search page yields ~20 doctors; the next-page sequence is followed automatically up to your limit.
4. Enrich each doctor from their profile page (when Scrape doctor profile pages is on): phone, biography, education, languages, procedures and every office.
5. Emit one flat, deduplicated row per doctor to the dataset.

📊 Output overview

Each dataset record is one doctor. Rows carry the search-card fields (name, specialty, rating, reviews, NPI, address, image, accepted insurance, telehealth, availability, badges) and — when Scrape doctor profile pages is on, or for pasted physician URLs — the detail fields (phone, biography, education, languages, procedures, full office list). Ratings are on a 0–5 star scale.

❓ FAQ

Can I get the doctor's email? No. Healthgrades doesn't publish physician email addresses; the actor returns the public profile — name, specialty, ratings, NPI, address, office phone, accepted insurance and (with detail on) biography, education and languages.

How many doctors can I get per search? Healthgrades returns ~20 doctors per page and paginates deep (popular specialty + big city searches run to 100+ pages). Use maxItemsPerSearch to cap.

What does Scrape doctor profile pages add? The search row is already rich (~30 fields). Turning it on visits each doctor's profile to add the phone number, biography, education and training, languages spoken, procedures and full office list — at roughly double the requests. Physician URLs you paste are always fully detailed.

Is the star rating 0–5 or 0–10? Output is always normalized to a 0–5 star scale, regardless of which internal scale the page used.

Do I need to configure proxies? No. US residential routing is built in (Healthgrades is a US site). Just give it specialties + cities or URLs.
