You can browse the hospital's website or check for complaints in the state Medical Examiner's website. You can find information in American Medical Association or the Medical Board for State.

Some hospitals and clinics list all their doctors or you can look them up by specialty. You can also check out the initials after the doctor's name, such as FACS (Fellow of American College of Surgeons) and look up the organizations on the Internet. You can also look for accreditation.

Check your local hospital's web site. They often have information about providers with admitting privileges at that hospital. You can also check the web site of the doctor's practice that you want to go to.

Do some research on the internet, find some reviews, ask family and friends, read newspapers, do a background check if you can afford to do one, and I would also ask the office questions regarding the doctor as well, they may be able to help. You can also call your insurance company.

Go to the website for your state's medical examiner. Find out if there are any complaints against the doctor. If so, do not go to them. You can also look at customer service review websites, since many include doctors.
