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, full field investigation, or hold open pending further information. Any person may file a complaint with the Board. In the absence of bad faith, a person who files a complaint with the Board shall not be liable for civil damages as a result of filing a complaint, cooperating with an investigation or providing testimony.
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.
If you wish to file a complaint against a chiropractic physician licensed by the Board, please complete a complaint form and reduce your complaint to writing, providing complete details of your allegations. The Board will accept anonymous complaints and complaints over the telephone, but a written complaint is preferable.
Once your complaint is filed, your allegations will be reviewed to determine if a possible violation of the Board's laws and rules has occurred. You will receive a letter acknowledging receipt of your complaint. Depending on the nature of your complaint, a Board Investigator may contact you for further information or for a formal interview. The chiropractic physician may also be contacted and interviewed.
Complaints filed with the Board, including our investigations, are confidential.
If you would like to check the status of a chiropractic physician's license, please visit the
Ohio ELicense Center
and type in the doctor’s first and last name.
If you have any questions regarding the Board's investigative process, please contact us at 1-888-772-1384 or
