Doctors history ???

[fowler100]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? RI
I am wondering if there is a place where you can research that will tell you if your doctor has had any legal action previously or any current cases taken against him??

Thank You

Look up your physician at the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline:

Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline

Physician profiles:

Information about physicians can help consumers make better choices about the health care they receive. RI law guarantees the public access to physician data including information about medical school attendance, graduate medical education, Board certification, years of practice, hospital and medical school affiliations, and publications. In addition the Board must provide a description of any final disciplinary actions within the most recent 10 years, any restriction or revocation of hospital privileges, and all the medical malpractice judgments, arbitration awards and settlements. The Board asks physicians to review their professional profiles periodically to assure accuracy.
