Consumers are urged to read this notice prior to searching the database.

The practitioner profile summarizes data submitted by Allopathic, Osteopathic, Chiropractic, Podiatric Physicians and Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner which has not been verified by the Department unless otherwise specifically indicated. The physicians filed the data with the Division of Medical Quality Assurance as required by law. Responsibility for providing the data lies with the practitioner. Please be advised that the practitioner may have disciplinary action and liability claims that occurred more than 10 years ago that may not be published on the practitioner profile. Additionally, federal criminal history information is not available to the public and thus, is not listed here.

The practitioner profile data is submitted by the practitioner and may be changed with the addition of new information. Thus, neither the Department of Health nor the State of Florida accepts any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, or usefulness of this information.

Consumers are advised to check all identifying factors to avoid confusion with similar names and to discuss all information with the practitioner prior to making a decision based upon this data.

Inappropriate use of any information to make incomplete or misleading comparisons of physicians may violate the law.

Other public information can be obtained by contacting the appropriate state or federal agency or by linking to other websites.

If you wish to obtain information on Medical Malpractice payments, that information is not maintained in this office as a part of the profiling documents. Civil  medical malpractice payment information may be obtained from the county in which the practitioner is working. Some other medical malpractice payment information may be obtained by contacting the Department of Insurance.
