As we all know, everybody needs to see a doctor sometimes. But finding a doctor that provides the services you need nearby can be time consuming. To facilitate this, we have created a website where users may enter a medical issue into a form, submit it, and receive a list of doctors in your city (Portland or Seattle depending on where you are) who can treat their medical issue.
| Spec | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Lookup by symptom | "Symptom" | Doctor first name, last name, address, phone number, website and whether or not the doctor is accepting new patients |
| Lookup by name | "Smith, Jane" | Doctor first name, last name, address, phone number, website and whether or not the doctor is accepting new patients |
| Call produces an error | (Not a 200 OK) | Correct error notification |
| No results for inputted criteria | Returns a notification that states that no doctors meet the criteria |
