navmds

Find doctors by procedure/specialty, optionally filtered by US state and city. Uses NavMDs' pre-computed search index (fast, ranked by rating + review volume). Use this when you have a concrete procedure (e.g. 'rhinoplasty', 'botox', 'tummy tuck'). For open-ended natural-language queries, use semantic_search_doctors instead.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "procedure": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Procedure or specialty, e.g. 'rhinoplasty', 'breast augmentation', 'botox'."
    },
    "state": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "US state name, e.g. 'California' or 'Florida'."
    },
    "city": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "City name, e.g. 'Miami'."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",

}

Return NavMDs' curated city guide for a procedure: the ranked specialists (the city's OWN doctors first, then the nearest within an adaptive radius), the typical local price range, the average rating, the share offering free consultations, and the canonical navmds.com page URL to cite. This is the best tool for 'who are the best <procedure> doctors in <city>' questions — it mirrors NavMDs' editorial city pages. If no curated guide exists for that city+procedure, it says so; fall back to search_doctors with a nearby larger city.

Search NavMDs' 7,400+ doctor directory with a natural-language query, e.g. 'board-certified facelift surgeon in Los Angeles with great reviews and free consults'. Powered by Gemini embeddings + cosine similarity over full doctor profiles. Best tool for open-ended or multi-attribute questions.

Search patient discussion threads on community.navmds.com — the NavMDs forum where people discuss recovery timelines, what procedures actually cost them, choosing a surgeon, and what to expect. Use this for lived-experience questions ('what is rhinoplasty recovery like', 'how much did people actually pay for a tummy tuck', 'how do I pick a surgeon') where the doctor-directory tools can't help. Returns thread titles, categories, excerpts and canonical URLs; pass an id to get_community_thread for the full discussion. Community posts are patient discussion, not medical advice.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Free-text search, e.g. 'rhinoplasty recovery swelling' or 'tummy tuck cost'."
    },
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1,
      "maximum": 25,
      "description": "Max threads (default 10)."

}

Fetch a complete NavMDs community thread by id (the id returned by search_community, or the trailing number of a community.navmds.com/t/<slug>/<id> URL) — the original question plus every reply, in order. Use after search_community when you need the actual answers rather than an excerpt. Community posts are patient discussion, not medical advice.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": {
      "type": "integer",
      "exclusiveMinimum": 0,

    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1,
      "maximum": 100,
      "description": "Max posts to return (default 30)."
