Anyone may file a complaint with the Arizona Medical Board. The Board may also initiate an investigation on its own motion if it becomes aware of possible unprofessional conduct.

The Arizona Medical Board prefers that complaints be filed in writing so the Board can effectively evaluate each allegation against the physician during the course of the investigation. For your convenience, a complaint form (MD) / (PA) can be downloaded from the website. Fill in as much information as you have regarding the physician’s conduct, including a detailed narrative outlining your complaint in chronological order, dates, names of other health care providers involved, and names and addresses of any witnesses. If you have supporting documentation, such as medical records, billing records or correspondence with the physician, please include a copy. Original documentation will not be returned to you after the investigation.

You have the right to file a complaint anonymously, however, it is difficult to sustain an anonymous complaint because the Board cannot contact the complainant to verify the information and it is also difficult to retrieve necessary medical records if a patient name is not provided. If you would like your identity to remain confidential, you may request that your name be withheld from the complaint. If you request that your name be withheld, the physician under investigation will not know who filed the complaint.
