Psychologists, dentists, therapists, nutritionists, and more: licensed with a federal NPI, but not medical doctors. We list them separately so you know exactly who you are seeing.
Hospitals, community health centers, home health, hospices, and more — organizations verified against the federal registry.
🏜️ The medical deserts
What this registry also shows: where there is NO ONE
Not a complaint: it is the federal registry, town by town, with the source next to each number. This starts to change when it is seen.
🔍 Why this page exists
The problem is not a lack of doctor lists
The problem is that many lists do not tell you what happens when you call.
RegistroMedicoPR measures something different: what the directory says vs. what happens when the patient calls. With a date, a source, and the evidence saved.
Help us measure what happens when Puerto Rico tries to get an appointment.
One call. One data point. One improvement. It does not matter who gets the credit. It matters that it works.

I have been through this. I called for a specialist and got an appointment months out. If you live outside Puerto Rico caring for your parents, or here with no time to chase calls, tell me what you need and I will write you back myself. No obligation.

In May we were told the appointment would be in October. Here is the story, in 3 minutes.
How it was made (and why you can trust it)
Every person in this registry exists in the NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System), the official US federal registry that Medicare and health plans use. We took only individual providers practicing in Puerto Rico, by taxonomy code (the official specialty), and organized them by region. Each NPI is a public number anyone can verify.
What you won't find anywhere else: the government has the data, but buried, in English, not organized by town. We made it clear, in one place, in Spanish and by town. See something outdated or a provider who no longer practices here? Tell us and we fix it — angel@angelanderson.com.
Journalist, health plan, or researcher? This data is citable and programmatic access is available. Reach out.
One important thing, neighbor to neighbor
This is not a substitute for medical advice. We verify public data, but phone numbers, health plans, and availability change. Before you go, call and confirm.
