An App Should Not Be Required!!
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
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
Failure to include D.O.s

Hard to navigate
Easy & helpful
Physician lookup works, physician change of address doesn’t
Not intuitive and has limitations
Interesting idea but terrible data
Could be good, but
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.
Works well
Easy to use, easy to find your doctor
Doesn’t work/Has been rectified

Awesome app!
Great idea but
More transparent. Tried looking up any sanctions and it kept spinning and would not load. Back to the drawing board. How about a simple
To use website that lets us see if
There are sanctions, settlements, etc?
