Doctors and health care providers in O Fallon, IL

O Fallon, Illinois appears in the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System with 1,077 registered healthcare providers spanning 25 or more distinct NUCC-taxonomy specialties. This count includes every individual clinician who has applied for an NPI and listed a practice address in O Fallon - 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 O Fallon 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 O Fallon is weighted toward Behavior Technician (295 clinicians, followed by Speech-Language Pathologist with 67 and Family Medicine Physician with 44). 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. Relative to Illinois's population, O Fallon reports roughly 8.6 providers per 100,000 residents using the state-level denominator, which is a rough proxy rather than a precise access-to-care measurement; the true catchment area of any {cityName} clinician extends beyond the municipal boundary.

Of Illinois's most common specialties, Internal Medicine Physician is the most prominent one with no provider currently listing a O Fallon practice address, a coverage gap O Fallon patients typically fill by traveling to a larger nearby hub.

For O Fallon patients, this directory is most useful as a starting shortlist.
