| Answer/Pointer: |
The Florida Department of Health licenses doctors. Their
website offers an online searchable database of license and
background information for doctors. The web address is:
http://www.doh.state.fl.us/
From the scroll down menu click on Licensure, Medical Health
Professionals Lookup.
Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on
Continue to the search site.
The Florida Department of Health Care Administration used to
have a Physician Discipline and Malpractice Report online.
Recently they changed their website and took that particular
publication off the site. Now consumers need to access the
Department of Insurance website for discipline and
malpractice information. The web address is:
http://www.doi.state.fl.us/
From here click on malpractice complaints.
The American Medical Association also has a website which
provides information for doctors, such as: graduation
school and date, internship, specialty, etc... The site
will also provide information on doctors who are not members.
The web address is:
http://www.ama-assn.org
From here click on Doctor Finder.
Then click on Search by name or medical specialty.
Then scroll down and click on ACCEPT.
