This website came about when it was discovered that the Medical Board of California's website was very flawed and missing a startling amount of Public disciplinary information. When we tried to work with the board (at the time, Executive Director Kimberly Kirchmeyer and Staff Attorney Kerrie Webb), they chose to not participate and made it very difficult to get the public information we were requesting, which they still do to this day. It was due to their inaction and beligerance that this website was created. Anyone having a problem with this website's existence or the information it contains, should direct their criticism to the Medical Board of California by clicking their names to send an email to them.

DISCLAIMER: Most of the information found on this website is hand-culled directly from the Medical Board of California's ("Board") website and from news articles and is only as good as that original information; it's just easier to find and read here. We have a VERY small team of advocates working on this project, and cannot keep everything up to date in real time. Always check the Medical Board website directly for more information or changes.

Infractions are pulled from the "Board's" disciplinary documents themselves and/or news articles. Sometimes the categories here don't match the Medical Board's categories exactly, so make sure you look up the infractions in the actual Medical Board documents.

Note: "Accusations" mean that a doctor has not had a hearing or been found guilty of any charges, but are being investigated by the Medical Board and/or the California Attorney General's Office.

**The California Medical Association (CMA) is a union of sorts for doctors in California. They have a lot of political power and donate a lot of money to the state's legislators in return for their "support." They appear to have a lot of "sway" over the Medical Board's members. One would think that most doctors would be members of the CMA with the amount of power they wield, but in actuality, 2/3 of this state's doctors refuse to join the CMA...which means that the majority of doctors in the state, choose to NOT be members.
