  What is a recognized doctor

  Healthgrades Recognized Doctor designation identifies leading doctors who:

  • Are board certified.
  • Have not had their license surrendered or revoked since Healthgrades started collecting data in 2000.
  • Have no malpractice judgments, adverse arbitration awards, or monetary settlements for the last five years in the states in which Healthgrades can collect malpractice data.
  • Are free of state or federal disciplinary actions (sanctions) for the last five years.

  Healthgrades updates the Recognized Doctor list quarterly based on board certification data. Healthgrades also receives sanction and malpractice data throughout the year, depending on how frequently the state medical boards release updates.

  We remove a newly sanctioned doctor from the Recognized Doctor list as soon as we receive the information. However, it is important to note that malpractice information is publically available in only 14 states.
