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!

Response from developer

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

Cannot “Follow” licenses as advertised

The website advertised this mobile application for following medical licenses and being notified of any change in status. After contacting customer service, I have now realized that you can only follow licenses for physicians and surgeons, and that’s it. No way to track Behavioral Board licenses or any other types. So I just downloaded this app for no reason.

Response from developer

The new version of the application released recently will allow you to follow any license types issued by the Medical Board of California. The Medical Board of California doesn't have jurisdiction over license types issued by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or other organizations. We appreciate you trying the application and hope you find use for it for providers that fall under our scope.

It able to open a search window at all extremely confusing

Confusing not able to open search window

Failure to include D.O.s

Both my wife’s and mine primary physicians are D.O.s. This app won’t accept D.O.s, which seriously limits its effectiveness.

Hard to navigate

The worst, go back erases what you were searching, hard to navigate and not user friendly. Needs lots of updating.
