Azure Atlas api Get Search POI doesn't bring back similar results as does a single word search query does for Bing comparatively

Here is my get query

'https://atlas.microsoft.com/search/poi/json?api-version=1.0&subscription-key=keygoesherexxxxxxxx&query=HOSPITAL&limit=7&lat=28.46538&lon=-81.47917&radius=100000'

The query is HOSPITAL which is the same with the Bing.com search. Here are the results 

 medical_locations: [

As you see the Bing.com results are way better and accurate compared to the atlas Azure map search. I can't really see anything from the payload response to filter the data any better either.

There is everything polluted in the results from rheumatology to marijuana doctors.

How can I properly search for hospitals and or urgent care clinics in the results and that's all?

Azure Maps has a large number of POI categories that can be used to refine the results to the specific categories you are interested in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/supported-search-categories

There are several health care and hospital related categories to choose from. I believe that HOSPITAL_POLYCLINIC is the category that is more inline with what you are looking for.

Your query only returns the first 7 results. The furthest result is 1.12 miles. However looking the the Bing.com results you mentioned, the first result is more than 2.5 miles away.
