Hi, this is usually a simple task. Open up your phone book (Yellow Pages) and look for one in your area.

Depending on what a type of doctor you are searching for, look for hospitals near your home. Then go to Google and type in their names. Most hospitals have websites which feature a physician directory.

Make sure your doctor is Board Certified, and that his or her respective field of specialization is listed, by consulting the American Board of Medical Specialists official directory of specialists, published by Marquis Who’s Who. The ABMS directory is available at most public libraries, as well as hospital, university and medical libraries.

Next, visit the Federation of State Medical Boards (online) to see if any serious disciplinary action has been taken against the doctor you’ve chosen.
