What a license check tells you
An active license means the state allows this person to practice. It doesn't measure quality of care, and it doesn't tell you whether they're right for you. Name searches can match more than one person, so confirm the license number, full name and location on the official record.
If you have a concern
- File a complaint with Medical Board of California (opens official site)
- File a complaint with Osteopathic Medical Board of California (opens official site)
- In an emergency, call 911. A licensing board can't help with urgent care.
