Connect patients with healthcare providers
Build a directory of doctors, dentists, therapists, or specialists. Help patients find the right care provider for their needs.
What is a healthcare provider directory?
A healthcare provider directory is a website that lists doctors, dentists, therapists or specialists, with each provider's specialty, location and contact details, so patients can find the right care in one place.
How do I start a healthcare provider directory?
Choose what it will cover (a niche, a place or both), collect a first set of providers, and publish them on a site where people can search and compare them. On DirectoryDuck you sign up free, add providers from a CSV file or let AI discovery find matches on the web for you to approve, and publish them at directoryduck.com/your-name.
What does it cost to start a healthcare provider directory?
You can start for $0: the Free plan includes one directory at directoryduck.com/your-name, 100 listings and 100 starter credits for AI discovery. Featured listings and your own domain start on Starter at $39/mo; Growth is $99/mo (5 directories) and Pro $249/mo (unlimited directories and listings). Paid plans are available now, billed monthly or yearly.

Widgets show listings, reviews, a star rating, a verified badge, a review form or an inquiry form on any page, and the public REST API returns your listings and reviews as JSON. On Starter and up the hosted page can also run on your own domain.
- How do reviews work in a healthcare provider directory?
- Visitors leave a star rating and a written review with the review form widget or the API. Each review waits until you approve it, you can post a public response, and approved reviews show on the listing's page.
- Can I mark providers as verified?
- Yes. Verify a listing with a code sent to its email address, a meta tag on its website or a DNS TXT record, or approve it by hand. Verified listings show a Verified badge in your directory and in the badge widget. A business can also claim its listing: it confirms its email address, and you approve the claim.
