Hello,

CNN's Money Magazine 2004: 

New York City
Doctor's offices and clinics
(within 30-mile radius)
 39,447 
National [City] Average  
 8,298  

http://money.cnn.com/best/bpretire/details/3651000.html

U.S. Department of Labor 
Bureau of Labor Statistics  
Occupational Employment Statistics  
May 2003 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
Healthcare Practitioner and Technical Occupations

http://www.bls.gov/oes/2003/may/oes_29He.htm

Anesthesiologists                  23,790 
Family and General Practitioners  111,990 
Internists, General                50,140 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists    19,180 
Pediatricians, General             26,910 
Psychiatrists                      19,530 
Surgeons                           49,730 

Total                             301,270

The Bureau of Labor statistics below for New York State lack two MD
categories, so I included the CNN Money Magazine reference above.

May 2003 State Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates
New York
Healthcare Practitioner and Technical Occupations 

http://www.bls.gov/oes/2003/may/oes_ny.htm#b29-0000

Anesthesiologists                 Estimates not released
Family and General Practitioners  3,180 
Internists, General               4,800 
Obstetricians and Gynecologists     740 
Pediatricians, General            2,110 
Psychiatrists                     2,760 
Surgeons                          Estimates not released

I hope this is useful. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. jdb-ga
