Go to your state government website and do a license look up. It will give you info on his/her license is current and if there has been any action taken by the medical board review in matters of possible malpractice and what actions have been taken. It's totally free and a good way to see if they have had any problems. Any business person that needs a license in there state can be looked up. These can include doctors, plumbers, insurance agents, contractors and a lot more. I recommend to always do a license check before investing any money for work to be done including medical. You might check on a doctor you have known and trusted. You never know until you look them up with the state they practice in. Plastic surgeons license look up can be very insightful. Good luck!
