Care professional’s record
Each state maintained a medical board with public physician licence and discipline records as of September 2026.
Check names, not website seals or badges
A licence is a public record. So is a pharmacy licence. Get the exact names, then check the state board that issued each licence.

The trust question
Ignore the mood of the page for a moment. Ask for two exact names: the care professional and the pharmacy. Check the person with the state board that issued the professional licence, and check the pharmacy with the state pharmacy board.
What the public records can tell you
Each state maintained a medical board with public physician licence and discipline records as of September 2026.
As of September 2026, pharmacies are licensed by state boards of pharmacy, which keep their own licence records.
As of September 2026, the FDA says not to use an online pharmacy that is missing from the state board’s online list of licences. Use the FDA state lookup linked here to reach the correct board.
Five things to check
A record showing a current licence and no published discipline proves only that the board has not published an action. It is not a rating of the care.
Match the professional title and licence type to the public record you search.
Match the name, profession, and current status. If the board lists a disciplinary action—an official penalty, restriction, or pending charge—read it instead of relying on a yes-or-no website badge.
Use the name that would appear on the label, not the name of the website that arranged the visit.
Check the exact name and whether an out-of-state pharmacy is permitted to send medicine into your state.
On medicine-related pages, “registered” means a facility or drug entry was recorded, “accredited” means an outside group checked certain quality standards, and “approved” means the FDA reviewed a specific medicine and use. These records do not replace one another.
