You can overcome the 403 error in this case by:

import requests
headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0'}
HOST = 'https://www.zocdoc.com'
PAGE = 'gastroenterologists/2'
with requests.Session() as session:
    (r := session.get(HOST, headers=headers)).raise_for_status()
    (r := session.get(f'{HOST}/{PAGE}', headers=headers)).raise_for_status()
    # process content from here
