🧠 Trujillo Alto is one of the municipalities without a single psychiatrist. It is not an isolated case: there are 36 across the island. The full map →

Called several offices and nobody called you back? Or called and the number no longer exists?

It is not that you are doing something wrong. The federal government already measured what is happening to you in Trujillo Alto: 2 official shortage designations (dental health, 20 of 25 points; mental health, 18 of 25 points). What you are living has a name, a number, and a date. Here it is, in plain language.

🏛️ The federal government already recognized the shortage here

Trujillo Alto has 2 active federal provider-shortage designations (HPSA): dental health (score 20/25) · mental health (score 18/25). That is not our opinion: it is HRSA, the federal health agency. What that means and the money it brings →

The numbers that do not add up (until you see the third one)

The official record and what you see, side by side. Neither one is lying; they measure different things. The line below each card explains which.

What you see

Trujillo Alto has 20 dentists in the federal registry.

The official record

And it is still a federal dental shortage area: 20 of 25 points, among the highest scores there are.

How can both be true? The designation measures access for the low-income population: 15,160 people per available dentist for that group. There are dentists. What is missing is an appointment for those on the government plan.

What you see

0 psychiatrists and 11 psychologists in the registry.

The official record

For the low-income population, the federal count comes to people per available mental health provider.

The designation measures outpatient appointments available to low-income patients, not total offices. That is why the federal number and the list above can say different things and both be true.

What you see

64 pharmacists to fill your prescription.

The official record

0 cardiologists, 0 oncologists, and 1 neurologist to write it.

The chain is complete at the end and broken at the start: the medicine arrives easily, the prescription does not.

⚠️ And a detail almost nobody knows: the federal government does not remove anyone from the registry on its own. When a doctor or dentist retires, moves, or closes the office, it is on them to take themselves out of the system, and many never do. That is why these counts are a ceiling, not a floor: the real shortage can be worse than the number says. And it is why people call an office "in the registry" and find it already closed. Every name below links its federal NPI so you can confirm before making the trip.

The diagnosis already comes with money

This information was always public. It was scattered across four federal databases, in English. We just gathered it and put it in plain language.

What almost nobody knows: a shortage designation is not just a diagnosis. It is a key. It unlocks real federal money:

The problem is already recognized and funded. What is missing is not a diagnosis. It is more professionals knowing the key exists.

⚠️ This list comes from the federal NPPES registry: these are the ones with an active NPI number. Federal rule 45 CFR 162.410 requires providers to update their record within 30 days of a change, yet in practice records go 10 and 20 years untouched. An NPI does not turn off when a provider retires or moves, so the list is a ceiling, not a floor — it may include someone no longer practicing here. That is why each name links its federal NPI so you can confirm it. Know of one who is no longer here? Tell us and we fix it.

A specialist missing from town is not always a crisis: what matters is how far the nearest one is and whether the appointment comes in time. That is why each gap shows where they DO exist.
