Question:
Where can I find State of Iowa list of oral surgeons who have had malpractice law suits ?
Answers:
Recent cases being processed by the Iowa Board of Dental Examiners can be found here: http://www.state.ia.us/dentalboard/publi...
You can also send inquiries about individual practitioners to the board, but there will be a fee involved.
As Dr. Albert says, ongoing lawsuits would be subject to confidentiality rules, and most of the time settlements are also confidential. Cases that went to trial and decided by a verdict would be a matter of public record though, unless a judge decides to seal the records for some reason.
Hope this helps.
