Your Doctor Might Have a Disciplinary Record
Ever wonder about a certain medical doctor who doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck, or seems to have bats in his belfry? Well, then it behooves you to make sure. Why? Because if he indeed falls into those categories, then you are at risk of being victimized.
Yes, very true. You can indeed file a malpractice case that you might win. But no amount of money will compensate for the loss of a limb, permanent disfigurement or total or partial paralyses. In fact, it will not compensate for the loss of a tooth since once its gone it is gone.
The websites below and the organizations mentioned provide a means that you might want to use in order to put your mind at ease in reference to this very real possibility which can prove detrimental to your health.

Your Doctor Might Have a Disciplinary Record. Here’s How to Find Out. by Charles Ornstein and Annie Waldman, ProPublica, and Princess Ojiaku, special to ProPublica
Published January 8, 2015 | Last Updated December 11, 2019
Patients often select doctors based on recommendations from family and friends, distance from their house or participation in their health insurer’s network. ProPublica also provides helpful resources for researching doctors, and knowing whether a doctor has been sanctioned by a professional licensing board should be another essential part of your search.
Doctors can be disciplined for criminal convictions, medical negligence, wrongly prescribing controlled substances and other wrongdoing.
Even with a disciplinary record, many doctors continue to practice, some even changing states to do so. Although hospitals have access to a federal database to look up the disciplinary histories of doctors in every state, the public cannot access it. To find information about a doctor, the best place to start is your state medical board's license lookup page.
Each state has a different process for looking up doctors and getting disciplinary records, if there are any. Some states provide full disciplinary histories, including legal documents about violations and subsequent board actions, online. Others charge a fee or require a public records request.
You can search the Federation of State Medical Boards’ DocInfo for the disciplinary history of specific doctors in every state. For nondisciplinary license information, you can also look up doctors in Administrators In Medicine’s DocFinder, however only 17 states participate.
We compiled the chart below to show you how to look up a doctor's license online and obtain any related disciplinary documents in each state. Unless otherwise noted, disciplinary documents can be accessed on a doctor's license verification page.
