How can we help?

Doximity is designed to be a place for professional expression and discussion. We require members to conduct themselves on our network in the same manner as they would offline in a professional medical setting. Please share your thoughts, opinions, questions, and insight! Doximity members are here to learn from and engage with you.

Please note: MD/DOs can only communicate with and see other comments from other MD/DOs. NPs are only able to communicate with and see other comments from other NPs. MD/DOs will not see comments from other specialists such as NPs and vice versa.
