I used to work in a firm that did medical malpractice. That website will also take you to a link where you can check the status of the doctor's license.
Lots of doctors get sued. This site will tell you if the settlement was normal, above normal or below normal. If it is above normal- that's the only time I would really worry. Feel free to FM me if you have any questions.

Lots of doctor's get sued. So one or two lawsuits is not a big deal. When something goes wrong, you have to sue EVERY ONE because the statute of limitations is so short. It could be the nurses fault or a part of the equipment, but the doctor has to get sued as well. However, there are some doctors that are just bad. It's a little scary.
I loved my OBGYN but she worked with a hospital that has a bad reputation (the medical malpractice attorney in my office said she would never give birth there). So I switched doctors and I feel a lot better.

Which hospital is that? If you don't mind sharing.
