Wilmington is a Partial HPSA. New-patient primary care appointments average 19 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 North Carolina metros serve Wilmington.

Why directory sites can't solve this in Wilmington

HRSA designates Wilmington as a Partial 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 Wilmington, only licensed in North Carolina.
