File a Complaint

File a Complaint

Once licensed, each physician is subject to review by the Board. Anyone may report to the Board his/her belief that a licensed physician has violated the statute or a standard of professional conduct by writing a letter or submitting a form supplied by the Board.

You may file a complaint by:

1. Submitting the complaint form electronically;

2. Printing a COMPLAINT FORM and/or an AUTHORIZATION FORM (if needed) here and sending it through the mail;

3. Requesting a form be sent to you by e-mailing the Board office at osteo.pfr@maine.gov, calling us at 207/287-2480 or by writing a letter of complaint to the Board at the address shown at the top of this site. Please be sure to provide all information as listed on the complaint form in order to ensure we will be able to process your complaint.

When information is received that a licensee may have engaged in conduct which is a ground for disciplinary action, the Board has the power to investigate. Depending on the results of the investigation, it may: find that there is no merit to the complaint or report and dismiss the matter; invite the licensee and complainant to attend an informal conference; enter into a consent agreement with the licensee; hold a hearing, or impose discipline allowed by 10 M.R.S.A. sec. 8003 and 32 M.R.S.A. sec. 2591-A, which may include suspension or revocation. The Board may also issue non-disciplinary letters of guidance.
