How can you ddetermine if a specific physician is qualified to practice psychiatry?
They would have to have obtained a license to practice that sub-specialty of medicine.
I believe (but am not entirely certain) that the law requires that their degree be displayed in their office.
However, I AM 100% certain that their state license to practice medicine is required to be posted in their office in plain view of the public. From that you could detemine his license number and (if necessary) call the state licensing board and inquire what his qualifications are.
