File a Complaint

Complaints
The Board investigates complaints alleging that a chiropractic physician has violated a provision of the Board's laws and rules. All complaints are reviewed to determine preliminary disposition: closure, referral to another agency, investigation, or hold open pending further information. Depending on the nature of your complaint a Board Investigator may contact you for further information or for a formal interview. 

The Board does not investigate complaints that involve disputes pertaining to insurance benefits/reimbursement or fee disputes between you and your chiropractic physician. We also do not mediate disputes or determinations pertaining to disability compensation.

File a Complaint
If you wish to file a complaint against a chiropractic physician licensed by the Board, please reduce your complaint to writing, provide complete details of your allegations, and submit it to the Board office via email, facsimile or U.S. Mail:

The Board does accept anonymous complaints; however, anonymous complaints are difficult to investigate without the ability to contact the complainant for further information or clarification. Should you choose to file your complaint anonymously, please provide as much detail as possible, including names, dates, witnesses, etc.
