How about being able to assign a value to certain attributes, and then recommend the highest "scoring" doctors?

For instance, accepting my insurance is incredibly important (100 points), being the same gender as me is a somewhat important (25 points), having a doctor under 45 is important to me (35 points), speaking a language other than English isn't important at all (0 points), etc, etc.

I am effectively applying this sort of algorithm now when choosing a doctor, but it would be nice to have it explicit and faster than looking up all the information on each doctors page.

That sounds interesting. Out of curiosity, what sites do you use to gather info on docs?
