Finding care

# How to check the person and the pharmacy

Start with a full name and a license type. A clinic’s name alone will not get you to the person’s record.

## Follow the name to its record

### Ask for the exact identity

Get the full name, license type, and license number of the person caring for you. Ask for the pharmacy’s full name as well.

### Choose the matching board

Use the board links below to match the person’s profession. Choose its license lookup and search the name or number.

### Compare the details

Compare the record with the name and license type you were given. Read the status and any public record of action taken by the board.

### Resolve a mismatch

Ask the board about a missing or unclear record. Keep your notes before deciding whether to proceed.

## Use the board for that profession

Evidence note

### Medical doctors

Nevada’s Board of Medical Examiners licenses medical doctors, whose degree is abbreviated MD, as recorded September 28, 2026.

An osteopathic doctor is a doctor whose medical degree is DO rather than MD. DO means Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Use the DO letters to choose the matching Nevada board.

Evidence note

### Doctors with a DO degree

### What about a physician assistant?

Nevada physician assistants may have a license from the medical board, the osteopathic board, or both, as recorded September 28, 2026.

A physician assistant provides medical services under a supervising doctor in Nevada, as of September 28, 2026.

## Check the pharmacy too

Evidence note

### A separate search

Pharmacies and pharmacists have their own Nevada Board of Pharmacy license search, as recorded September 28, 2026.

Nevada pharmacy board: license verification

Sending prescriptions into Nevada required a pharmacy based elsewhere to hold Nevada licensing, as checked September 28, 2026.

### Does a clear record settle the choice?

A license check shows the person’s public license record. It does not tell you how well that person will care for you.
