Chad's doctor locator mashup

Chad Dickerson put together a really useful (and precisely simple) maps tool for locating doctors from his provider network that are near him:

"I was sorting through some old papers and found one of those thick health care provider directories that you used to get when you started a new job with new health insurance...To get ahead of the game (while I’m not sick), I created a Berkeley-area doctors maps mashup using screen-scraped data from my health care provider...There’s a list of medical specialties on the left, and when you click on one, the providers that match that speciality display on the map in the window on the right."

Chad, are you up for making a few changes to it for the rest of us?  I could really use this, too.  It's a real pain to find a doctor sometimes.

  1. Add a way for me to define my location by zip
  2. Get someone to help you pour in data from other providers

That's all it needs (and maybe a silly name like "drahoo.com" or "feelgoodfinder.com").
