A Brooklyn care briefing

# Look up the person who would actually assess you

A service name is not enough for this check. Ask for the clinician’s full name, professional title and New York licence number, then compare the record with the offer.

## Use the state’s own record

As of September 28, 2026, New York’s Office of the Professions offered a free search for checking professional licences. It covered doctors, physician assistants, nurses and pharmacists. [\[a\]](#source-a)

- Choose the profession that matches the person’s title.

- Match the full name and any licence details you were given.

- Read whether the person is allowed to practise now; a matching name is only the beginning of the check.

- Ask the service to explain anything that does not match.

## For a doctor or physician assistant, check another record too

For a doctor or physician assistant, check the separate conduct record kept by New York’s Department of Health. These checking details were confirmed on September 28, 2026. [\[b\]](#source-b)

Discipline means official action about professional conduct. The licence search is not the whole conduct check for these professions.

- Use the conduct page linked in the notes below.

- Read the action itself if a matching record appears.

- Keep a note of which person and profession you checked.

## What a matching record leaves unanswered

A public record with no disciplinary action is not a rating of how good a clinician is. [\[c\]](#source-c)

- Who will hear my questions after the visit?

- What experience do you have with the condition being discussed?

- How would a change in my care be reviewed?
