Physician research

Does anyone know a website that has a doctors credentials and license info? I tried AMA but no luck there (unless I missed it). Any info would be greatly appreciated. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and keeping warm. Brrrr.... baby its cold outside.... Barb

Barb, I don't have the information (name of website) but one other piece of information I wanted to pass along to you for your search. When you interview doctor's ask them point blank, how they handle a crisis. When things go good, we think doc's walk on water, but the true "cream of the crop" will rise to the top when things go wrong. If your chosen doc will not take care of you when/if a complication comes along, than who will?? Will he/she communicate with your family?? I know that these are all what if questions, but none of us think the what if's will happen to us, and for MOST of us, they never do, but just in case, it's always better to be prepared. If you have a complication you want a doc that is "johnny on the spot" not one who puts you on the back burner. Good Luck as you continue your search.

Hey Debbie, Thank you so much for the info. I've written your suggestions on my list to take to the doctor on Thursday. Now, I have been wanting to talk to you for a while now. Please tell me what happened to you. I have to tell you, you helped me decide on a doctor. Or at least what doc NOT to use. Anxiously waiting for your reply and wishing you well. Barb
