How would you check a plastic surgeon's malpractice record?

Check State Website: Most states have a board of medicine website and the licenses and disciplinary actions against doctors are listed on the website. Check your state board of medicine.

Go online: Check national and state databases that list the complaints or status of a physician's license. The state department of health or speciality board website will usually reveal the more adverse issues surrounding a physician's status. I would not trust online reviews since these are extremely subjective and also subject to tampering.

Go to Board website : You are able to check on the american board of plastic surgery website and state medical boards.

State medical board: If there was a final judgement, there may be a public record available through a lexis-nexus search if you have access. Otherwise, state medical and licensing boards usually have public records of censured physicians or restrictions on practice.
