Default How do you get info on a doctor?
There used to be a way to find out all about a physician before you got to go and see him.

My landlord needs a specialist in Ear Nose and Throat. They have a name. Is there a link on the internet, where I can type in this doctor's name and they'll give me information on him.

for ex. malpractice, is he good, is he bad??

Thanks much.

Melody

your state website should have a medical board section.
- ours lists if dr have been disciplined or license revoked.

New York state -

Jo:
I clicked on the link, and then clicked on PHYSICIANS. You have to keep clicking on next until you get to the physician you are looking up. The guy's last name begins with the letter P.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but there SHOULD be a way to put in the guy's name, right?

Or do I keep just clicking NEXT, NEXT NEXT, until I get the guy's name.

if I do it this way, this will take two hours.

Any suggestions?
thanks, Melody

My insurance co has a website where I get info. That is how I picked my PCP. It tells if they've had a malpractice suit, where and when they went to med school, and some other stuff about the doc if they wish to post that.


I had blood tests Friday and EMG/ nerve conduction yesterday (weds). So I sympathize with Alan. I see my doc the 20th for results. I hope your husband gets good news.
