Podiatrist Database: Reaching 22,224 Foot and Ankle Specialists

The podiatrist database has 22,224 records covering podiatrists in all 50 states and DC. It is one of the smaller specialty files in the network, and that is part of its appeal: podiatry is a focused field with a clear set of suppliers who sell into it.

What is in the podiatrist database

Every record includes the podiatrist's NPI number, practice name and address, phone number, fax number, license number, and credential. Because the file is built from the NPPES registry, each podiatrist appears once, tied to the practice location they reported.

Who buys it

Orthotic labs and footwear brands that sell through clinicians use it to find practices to pitch. Wound care and diabetic foot care suppliers use it because podiatrists are a natural channel for those products. Practice management and EHR vendors that build specifically for podiatry use it to reach independent practices, and continuing education providers use it to announce courses and certifications by state.

Why a small specialty can be efficient

Podiatry has a high share of small independent practices compared with hospital heavy specialties, so the podiatrist on your list is often also the person who decides what the practice buys. That shortens the path from first contact to a real conversation. It also means a well matched message goes further here than in a specialty where you first have to work out who inside a large group makes the decision.

Where the podiatrists are

Unlike most specialties, New York edges out California in this file, with 2,371 podiatrists against 2,356 in California. Florida follows with 1,801, then Pennsylvania with 1,426 and Texas with 1,337. If you sell into podiatry along the Northeast corridor, that concentration is worth building a territory around.

Getting started

Start with the state closest to your sales team or distribution center and work outward. You can browse the podiatrist database, compare it with the neighboring dermatologist database guide, or see every state's counts on the state browse page.
