How can I find out if my doctor’s license has been suspended?

Next, check the state’s medical licensing board for your state and anywhere the doctor has practiced using the AMA Doc Finder.

Where can I file a complaint about a doctor?

To file a complaint about conditions at a hospital (like rooms being too hot or cold, cold food, or poor housekeeping) contact your State’s department of health services. To file a complaint about your doctor (like unprofessional conduct, incompetent practice, or licensing questions), contact your State medical board.

But patients will have a difficult time finding out how many times their doctor has been sued for malpractice, slapped with a disciplinary action or hit with the loss of hospital privileges. They may not even be able to find out if their doctor has been charged with a crime.
