Follow up to 16 Providers Immediate Profile Access to the Providers You Follow Automated License Update Background Notifications Optimized Access to Website Content Access to your provider's license profile at your fingertips, 24/7. Developed by the Medical Board of California as part of their ongoing commitment to protecting California's health care consumers. Making informed health care decisions has never been easier. Receive notifications when a provider's name, address, practice status, license expiration, or survey data changes, and when administrative actions or enforcement documents are added to a provider's license profile. The information includes notification when a provider is suspended, revoked, or placed on probation. Optimized for the latest iOS version. Notifications are now delivered by a background push notification service to deliver alerts even when the application is not running in the foreground. Notification history is saved for 30 days. Providers are synchronized between devices using the same iCloud account.

Physician lookup works, physician change of address doesn’t

I was able to lookup my medical license. I tried to update my work address: it didn’t let me get to the screen to login to the breeze system. I was able to do this via safari web browser on iOS.

An App Should Not Be Required!!

Looking up the medical license of any California doctor should be a function of the website. It should not require the downloaded of its app!! That is how it used to function at least up until 6 yrs ago when looking up doctors’ licenses was a daily responsibility of my employment! There is no logical reason benefiting the user. Obviously, it only offers benefit to the agency which I assume is for targeted marketing purposes. I’d rather go back to a time when obtaining info costed me money, as opposed to costing me my privacy!

Looking up Medical Board of California licensees is available from our website. Please see the "Check up on you Doctor's License" panel prominently displayed in the middle of our home page at https://www.mbc.ca.gov. The benefit of this application is to prevent users from having to routinely visit the website to search for the licensees that they are interested in. Using this application, you can search for your licensee and add up to 16 of them to your "My Providers" list and receive notifications when changes to their status and other attributes are detected by the app without having to search them again manually. License profiles are viewable directly from the "My Providers" list, saving the user from having to perform repetitive searches. No identifying information is collected for marketing or other purposes. Thank you

Interesting idea but terrible data

Terrible app because all it does is show their terrible website. I looked up several doctors that I know have had discipline and the app showed nothing. Another doctor I couldn’t find at all. They also don’t explain that this only works for certain doctors licensed with the medical board itself but not the other boards like podiatrists, dentists, osteopaths, etc. most don’t know that there are separate boards and who belongs to which board. I see, too, that the boards own lawyer, Kerrie Webb, gave the app 5 Stars. No conflict if interest there!

I found my primary care doc just fine, but it was all downhill from there. A few simple enhancements would make an enormous difference: make it so you can search without having to specify what kind of license your doctor has, e.g. I should be able to find my osteopath, my family doctor, and my rheumatologist without specifying a category.Another fix: a simple ‘back’ button to take me to the previous screen.And another: instead of forcing me to assign my own term to a doctor whom I’m following, default that selection to the doctor’s name. I think of them by name and don’t want to assign some artificial phrase when following.And a bug fix: I successfully followed one doc, but trying to follow another using the same path, assigning a name, and tapping follow, failed multiple times. Uggghhh. Should not be so difficult.

Thank you for providing your feedback. All Physician and Surgeons licensed by the Medical Board of California are searchable through the app. When clicking on the magnifying glass from the "Following" list, the license type is preset in the DCA Search interface to only display Medical Board of California Physician and Surgeons. Osteopathic Physician and Surgeons are licensed by the Osteopathic Medical Board of California and you can find more information about their licensees at http://www.ombc.ca.gov.You can go "back" on any screen in the app by using the standard "swipe-right" gesture used in most iOS application. A conscience decision was made to omit a "back" button in favor of the gesture so that the in-app tutorial "?" button could be displayed on as many screens as possible. Please give the "swipe-right" gesture a try and let us know if you have any problems.As for the description popup when adding a Physician and Surgeon to your "Following" list, that description is completely optional. The popup appears and if you just simply hit "Follow" without providing a description, the name is stored with just the standard name and license information.In regards to having trouble following an additional Physician and Surgeon, can you provide any additional information as to what error you encountered so we can troubleshoot further? Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback.
