Schenectady is a Population HPSA. New-patient primary care appointments average 22 days locally — and brick-and-mortar directory sites can't fix that because there's no provider inventory to book. Ondoc's behind-the-scenes panel of board-certified clinicians has no such limit: the same prescribers serving New York metros serve Schenectady.

Why directory sites can't solve this in Schenectady

HRSA designates Schenectady as a Population HPSA. There aren't enough local PCPs taking new patients to populate a meaningful directory — that's the definition of a shortage area. An online clinician panel sidesteps the inventory problem entirely: the prescriber doesn't need to be physically in Schenectady, only licensed in New York.
