By 2013, it became one of the largest networks for U.S. healthcare professionals, with approximately 10 percent of U.S. doctors as members.

By the beginning of 2014, 40 percent of U.S. physicians became members. In 2016, it began offering a free service for doctors to call patients using their work number on their mobile phones. In 2018, the company announced that it had reached 1 million members, accounting for more than 70 percent of U.S. physicians. In 2021, Doximity served more than 2 million registered members, including over 80 percent of U.S. physicians and over 50 percent of nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
