How can I research my new OB/GYN's license?

[sfdavis918]

Does anyone know how to do this? I have a new-to-me OB/GYN that I am getting weird vibes from. She seems like a competent enough Dr, but seems overly paranoid about certain things.

Anyway, for my own piece of mind, I would like to research her a bit more. Any suggestions?

I don't know how to research this; however, I just wanted to tell you that if you're getting weird vibes, check into a new doctor (if you can). You want someone you feel connected to; if you're not comfortable, no amount of education or competence will ease your mind.

Just my .02. Good luck!

I was going to say do some state research about her...they'll have record of malpractice, etc. Also, make sure she is board certified...just b/c she finished med school doesn't mean she is certified.

I agree with Diane, if she makes you feel uncomfortable find another doc...some people you click with and others you just don't.

I used to work or a OB for 11 years. I'd go to the state of Ca. website and look it up there.

Trust your intuition. We get those strange feelings or hear those little voices for a reason.

I agree with the others. The one doctor you want to feel comfortable and trusting of is your OB/Gyn. My endocrinologist was like that. Just weird and had no sense of humor or bedside manner. I found another doctor I love and who's alot more accessible. Sometimes you just have to keep looking until you find the right 'fit'.

If you go to google and search "rate doctors" several ways to find out what others think come up. Some are free, some have a fee. I had a friend who was switching doctors (she had 2 or 3 possibilities) and so she got "the low down" from those who had been to them. It helped her make her decision. Maybe you could see if anyone else felt the same way..just an idea If you've never done it, it's kind of interesting. I learned that everyone loves my doctor (as do I).
