I just read one of these via your site at random. Holy crap, talk about incompetence!

This is great to see. Some feedback: I entered the exact name of a doctor I knew would be in the database, formatted as "firstName lastName". The result was buried under 20 other less relevant matches. I had to search as "lastName, firstName", for it to come back as the first result.

Two bug reports:
1. When I search by "Malpractice Settlements", I get a "Minified React error #31" on every result I click on.
2. You're doing something horrible with the back button - I clicked on one result and had to click the back button 10 times to get out of your site.

Excellent, thank you for creating this. Just learning that this data is available. Only California? Are the other states not making the data available in the same fashion as CA?
Also, was there a personal trigger for you to create this?

Thank you for this. The medical industry is in dire need of transparency. Next up would be pricing and costs!

Very nice data! Interesting when paired with (also front page) 'The Prosecutor's Fallacy' https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37819637

Fantastic idea, thank you for implementing this.
I too was harmed by a doctor and I'd really like to see this cover all states in the USA. I signed the linked petition on change.org.

Absolutely incredible. I wish something like this existed for Germany.

This is a fantastic tool, I have no doubt that it could help de-obfuscate the misconduct side of medicine, which most people have no idea even exists. Thank you for working on this!

Thank you! This is such a useful site! Probably only possible in US since any other country restricts access to such records only for law enforcement which is a shame.

Note: California ONLY.
(commment: pity all states don't publish this in machine-readable formats. Id say this is more important than the monthly food report in the nnewspaper.)

https://www.physician.fyi/ca/c%2042520 shows up on the map as being in some random village in France.

The text search could be better. Searching for an exact last name turned up a bunch of results don't match at all

I may be missing something, but I would like to be able to search by zip and return individual doctor's names.

*In California
That's a really interesting project !
One pet peeve, though. Some entries have "Arbitration Award" listed as an action. However, these usually mean that the physician won an arbitration case (i.e. the ruling was in their favour). Listing them without any differentiation can potentially negatively bias a person's opinion against a perfectly honest doctor.
