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.
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.
It’s nice to have an app on my phone where I can immediately find information on any doctor by typing in his/her name. I no longer need to scour the Internet trying to find the information. The app is intuitive and fast. Good job, developers.
This app is a great idea but it accesses their website which is highly flawed. Some doctors are impossible to find by name, they selectively post documents and have admitted to the being 15,000 public disciplinary documents missing and they only discipline about 4% of the 10,000 complaints that consumers file. Most of the others end up in the tag. They protect doctors over consumers with their doctor majority board.
The icon goes around and around...it’s a waste of time! Fix your app! Follow-up: I appreciated your response regarding my initial problem with your app. Today, 7/30/18, I was able to use your app and found information on a physician without any glitches. Eric M.
I saw this on the news and thought it is about time that medical professionals were 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?
Would like to use this app, but it won’t allow me to follow anyone other than an MD. No CNM or DO. Very frustrating. And there’s a limit to how many I can follow - also frustrating. Will not be using this app - bummer.
