I made a beta site that shows all the doctors who are available after hours in three popular cities. Would you use this site, and if not, what other functionality would you like to see? Any other thoughts?

Very cool.

It might be good to filter results by distance from a point, or zip code or some such localizing feature. If you need a doc after hours, you might not want to go far.

Also it might be good to include those "urgent care" centers that sit somewhere between large group practices and small hospitals and often have after hours care.

Nice use of the APIs.

I'd like to have a list like that of Dentists. If I have a medical emergency, there's always the Emergency Room, but if you have a dental emergency (and those can be horribly painful), you need to see someone NOW, and not many dentists are available after hours.

Someone should start a 24 Hour Dental Clinic franchise. :chin:

If this is something geared toward people on the spectrum, I would recommend listing whether they accept Medicaid/Medicare, or at least link a website when available. I don't know how easy would be to obtain this information for each one, but it might potentially save your user some grief and time considering they are probably in a stress situation to begin with if they need an after hours doctor.
