  • Verify a doctor's license  

  • Verify a doctor's professional background information  

  • Verify if a doctor has had disciplinary actions by State Medical Boards 

Patients aren’t completely helpless when it comes to identifying ill-intentioned doctors. One resource is DocInfo.org, which is managed by the Federation of State Medical Boards, a nonprofit representing all medical licensing boards in the U. S. On the site, you can search the educational and professional backgrounds of more than a million U. S. doctors, as well as see any action taken against them by state medical boards. “Before you schedule your next checkup, make sure your doctor checks out,” the website reads.
