This site is one site I have to use on a daily basis while attempting to credential providers for our hospital. I appreciate how easy and simple to use. Also the links that take you to other sites where you can gain more information on a provider.
Learning about a physician's medical license is another great way to check out their credentials. If you are reading about what a doctor wrote online or if you are seeking a new provider, you want to know if they have ever had their medical license revoked or if they have lawsuits against them. The state board will probably also list their medical school. This type of information is all available to the general public and is usually listed on the state medical board's website. The AMA has done a great job of listing all of the websites of the state medical boards. Follow the link below (cut and paste if needed) and you can select the state you are in. Then when you go to your state's medical board you can enter in the doctors name and see if they are properly licensed and if they have ever had any disciplinary action against them.

Absoulutely THE WORST customer service and front office! I've been going to them for a few years now, they NEVER return phone calls to schedule appointments, they NEVER answer the phones- most the time the voicemail boxes are full. I've had to start messaging the dr's and assistants directly to get any sort of response from them. I've never had such horrible service, and this is going on 3 years. EVERY interaction I've had with them (over 10 now) has been the same results. HORRIBLE! Find someone else who actually hires people that care about their patients!
Absolutely Great Learning process with amazing scenario based projects and case studies, medical association is absolutely great benefit to America
