Check / West Valley care notes
Check the person. Then the pharmacy.
You have a clinician’s name and the letters after it. Use the board for those letters, then make a separate pharmacy check.
Start with the right Arizona board
These board-search notes reflect the October 3, 2026 record.
Permission to practise
Search by the person’s role
- MD: medical doctor
Arizona’s Medical Board search links to licence details and board orders. These orders are the board’s written decisions about a doctor.
- DO: a doctor whose name is followed by DO
These doctors have their own Arizona board. Use its “Find your DO” page to open the doctor search.
- Nurse practitioner: a nurse with further clinical training
Check the nurse’s licence and advanced-practice certificate: the board’s record of the nurse’s approved role. Check permission to prescribe separately.
- PA: physician assistant
The Arizona board for physician assistants provides PA Search and licence verification.

Match the full name and role to the person you are considering. Open any linked board decisions.
Look for penalties or limits on the person’s work. If a decision is hard to follow, ask the board to explain it.
A licence check does not rate how good someone’s care will be.
Under rules checked October 6, 2026, the board’s online list of penalties and other final decisions may leave out older records.
An empty list does not prove there were no earlier complaints or board decisions.
Ask that person’s licensing board for public records of past penalties or other final decisions. Some kinds of records cannot be released.
Ask for the pharmacy’s full name
The pharmacy that prepares a medicine may differ from the name on a care website.
Rules checked October 3, 2026 require an Arizona permit for a pharmacy that ships here from another state. It also needs authority where it operates.
A pharmacy permit alone does not prove that each made-to-order medicine meets the law’s requirements.
Ask for the permit details before comparing pharmacy claims.
For the pharmacy check
- FDA: start a state pharmacy check
Follow the Arizona link; if the search will not load, ask the state board to confirm the permit.
- Arizona: pharmacy permit requirements
This is the permit rule, rather than a live record for a particular pharmacy.
