Active healthcare providers in Wilkes Barre sourced from the CMS NPPES weekly file, no proprietary ratings, no editorial scores. NPI counts, specialty distribution, and primary practice addresses refreshed each release.
2,368 healthcare providers across 20 specialties
Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania appears in the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System with 2,368 registered healthcare providers spanning 20 distinct NUCC-taxonomy specialties. This count includes every individual clinician who has applied for an NPI and listed a practice address in Wilkes Barre - 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 Wilkes Barre 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 2023 Medicare Part D data, and, according to CMS, can be searched, compared, and traced in our methodology.
The provider mix in Wilkes Barre is weighted toward Student in an Organized Health Care Education/Training Program (204 clinicians, followed by Pharmacist with 200 and Physician Assistant with 137). 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 Pennsylvania's population, Wilkes Barre reports roughly 18.3 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.
Within Pennsylvania, Wilkes Barre ranks #14 of 817 cities tracked by provider count, accounting for 0.9% of the state's registered providers. Of Pennsylvania's most common specialties, Mental Health Counselor is the most prominent one with no provider currently listing a Wilkes Barre practice address, a coverage gap Wilkes Barre patients typically fill by traveling to a larger nearby hub.
For Wilkes Barre patients, this directory is most useful as a starting shortlist, searching by specialty narrows the 690-taxonomy roster to clinicians with the relevant training, and each provider page links to NPI, state licensing boards, and the NPPES registry for credential verification. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available CMS government data, not a review site, a ranking, or medical advice. NPPES data is self-reported and refreshed monthly, so listing details may be out of date; call the practice directly to confirm the provider is still there, accepts your insurance, and is taking new patients. Nothing on this page substitutes for consulting a licensed clinician about your personal health decisions.
