Re: DR prior record
The answer depends on your doctor's specialty. If your doctor is a medical doctor then you would check with the "OPMC" (office of profssional medical conduct) if your doctor is anything else (like a dentist, podiatrist, psychologist etc.) then you would check with "OPD" (office of professional discipline). Google these terms and go to the websites. You can check your doctor's disciplinary history by simply entering his or her last name.
If you are thinking about a medical malpractice action against this doctor, please contact me.
