Checking out Doctor

Hi, I am in WA and looking at doctors here. There is Bright in Spokane, when I want to the American Medical Association they do not sho him as being Board Cartified. What can thi mean? how else can you look into a doctor? Can we find out if they hurt anyone?

http://www.docboard.com has great useful information- just type in the name of the surgeon and it will tell you his history good and bad (if any)- it's a great spot. Good luck!
