Doctors and health care providers in Dos Palos, CA

Dos Palos, California appears in the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System with 18 registered healthcare providers spanning 11 distinct NUCC-taxonomy specialties. This count includes every individual clinician who has applied for an NPI and listed a practice address in Dos Palos - physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, chiropractors, physical therapists, optometrists, psychologists, podiatrists, and every other credentialed provider type CMS tracks. It does not measure hospital beds, urgent-care capacity, or whether a given clinic is accepting new patients; it measures the pool of professionals with current NPI enrollment and a Dos Palos practice location on file. Every figure is drawn from the federal National Provider Identifier Registry (CMS NPPES) - more than 7 million providers, maintained since May 2007, with 2024 Medicare Part D data, and, according to CMS, can be searched, compared, and traced in our methodology.

The provider mix in Dos Palos is weighted toward Family Nurse Practitioner (4 clinicians, followed by Behavior Technician with 3 and Physical Therapist with 2). That distribution reflects how NPPES records specialty: providers self-select a primary taxonomy code, so a family physician who also practices geriatrics will show up under whichever NUCC code they registered first. Per-capita density calculations require a state population baseline, which is currently unavailable for this geography.

Of California's most common specialties, Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program is the most prominent one with no provider currently listing a Dos Palos practice address, a coverage gap Dos Palos patients typically fill by traveling to a larger nearby hub.
