Check the names
A logo is decoration. A state record is evidence.
Clinician licence
New York has no separate medical board that licenses doctors; the State Education Department does that job, so its search is the right place to look.
As of September 2026, the State Education Department’s free licence search covered doctors, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, and registered pharmacies.
Check that the job title is right and that the licence is shown as currently registered. Then open the Enforcement Actions tab: anything listed there is discipline. A similar name is not a match.
Doctor discipline
As of September 2026, New York’s health department kept a separate public record of disciplinary actions involving doctors and physician assistants dating back to 1990.
That list is kept by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct.

As of September 2026, a pharmacy outside New York generally needed New York registration before mailing prescription medicine to a patient in the state.
Product
Type in the full product name. Check that the ingredient, the form it comes in (such as a pen or a pill), and the company all match. Finding a product in some other government list may only mean its label was filed there.
As of September 2026, a listing under a National Drug Code (NDC) number did not mean the FDA had approved the product.
