Physician Locator Service: Is Your Doctor A Society Member? One key service that the Sangamon County Medical Society (SCMS) provides to the general public is our Physician Locator tool. Physician Locator is a directory search tool providing valuable information on more than 580 SCMS member physicians, which includes doctors of medicine (MD) and doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO). Information such as educational backgrounds and board certifications has been verified for accuracy and authenticated by accrediting agencies, medical schools, residency training programs, licensing boards, and other data sources. In short, we have taken the guesswork out of evaluating a physician's credentials. SCMS also provides referral information for primary care and specialty physicians. Information may be obtained by accessing the Physician Locator on this Web site or by calling us at 217-525-0765.   Physician Locator How To Search You may search using one or more fields. If you don't know the exact spelling of the physician's name, you can search by using the first few letters of the last name. You may also search by city or zip code. If no choice is made, all records will be shown. If you get back "no results found" simply broaden your search. * If the specialty you are looking for isn't present then try using the specialty keyword search box. For a more detailed search go to the Advanced Search, where you may search on sub specialties, gender, or languages spoken.
