What these numbers can't tell you
- Credentials count only clinicians a spa names with a credential (MD, DO, NP, PA, RN) on its own website, so spas that leave their team off their website are left out of those shares.
- We count credentials as written on the website without verifying licenses; check any provider with your state board.
