I don't believe that Doximity has over 700,000 members. Rather, I believe that number refers to the total number of physician providers in the United States.

You know, you're right Brian. The Doximity website claims over 100,000 active users as of Oct 2012. Interestingly AMA reported 954,224 US physicians in 2008. So that 700K number is puzzling.  
 
I do see that Doximity lists profiles for many doctors and implores them to "claim" their profile. So perhaps there are 700K listed, as a sort of incentive to get them to become active users?
