Every state runs a free public database where you can look up a doctor’s license, and a second one for pharmacies. Each takes about a minute. You need the person’s or business’s name, and the result tells you whether the license exists, whether it is current, and whether the board has taken any action against it. The lookups for all 41 jurisdictions we serve are in the table below.
These are the records themselves, not a summary of them. A screenshot on a company’s own website is not a substitute for the board’s database, and neither is this page.
What a medical license tells you, and what it does not
A state medical board license means that a named person met that state’s requirements to practice medicine there. A license on its own is not proof of good standing, which is why the record matters more than the fact that one exists. The record usually shows the license number, its current status, its expiry date, the profession, any restrictions, and any public disciplinary action. Read the status and restriction fields, not just whether a result comes back.
It says nothing about the medication you were prescribed, whether a particular treatment was appropriate for you, or whether the practice’s website is accurate. Licensure is about the person’s authority to practice in your state, and where you are physically located during the visit is what decides which state’s license matters.
What a pharmacy license tells you, and what it does not
A pharmacy license means that state’s board of pharmacy permits the business to dispense in the state, and can inspect and discipline it. A pharmacy in another state that ships to you generally needs a nonresident license from your state’s board, which is what makes its shipments into your state lawful.
It does not mean the products it prepares have gone through FDA premarket review for safety and effectiveness. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, and a pharmacy license does not change that. That is a statement about FDA approval specifically, not a claim that nobody reviews anything: a pharmacist reviews the prescription and the state board inspects the pharmacy. A license is about the business, not about what is in the vial.
The lookups, by state
Fifteen of these jurisdictions run one combined portal for both professions, so the two links in their row are identical. That is how the state publishes it, not a mistake on this page.
How to run the check on us
Every prescription we write, in every state, is written by the same physician, so there is one name to check rather than a roster.
James Simmons, MD. His license number for your state is in the table above. Search your state’s medical board by his name, compare the number, and read the status, expiry and any restriction or disciplinary entry. That board record is the check.
His National Provider Identifier is 1215498332, and it is worth being clear about what that is. You can look it up in the NPI registry, and it confirms an identity, not a credential: CMS states that issuing an NPI does not ensure or validate that a provider is licensed. Use it to confirm you have the right James Simmons, and use the board to confirm he is licensed where you are.
Our states we serve page links to each state’s own page, which carries his license number for that state alongside a direct link to that state’s medical board lookup.
Our pharmacies. Four state-licensed US pharmacies fill our compounded prescriptions, all compounding under Section 503A for an individual patient’s prescription rather than operating as 503B outsourcing facilities: AllMedRx Specialty Pharmacy of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; Premium Compounding Pharmacy LLC of Decatur, Alabama; Evoluciona Pharma LLC of Stafford, Texas; and Everwell Specialty Pharmacy LLC of Pensacola, Florida. Which one fills yours depends on the medication and preparation your doctor prescribes and the state it ships to. Brand-name Zepbound and Foundayo are filled by LillyDirect, and the Wegovy pen by NovoCare Pharmacy: the makers’ own pharmacies. Search the pharmacy’s name in your state’s pharmacy board lookup from the table above. Because they compound under 503A, a state board rather than the FDA is their primary regulator. The difference between the two routes is explained in 503A vs 503B pharmacies.
Here is the part we would rather you hear from us than notice on your own: this page lists our physician’s license number for every state, and it does not list our pharmacies’ license numbers. You can verify our prescriber from this page in under a minute. To check a pharmacy, run the name search yourself in your state’s board database, or ask us for its exact legal name and license number and we will give you both. If a board’s database returns nothing for a name you typed, that is a question worth asking rather than an answer.
A practice that will not tell you where to find its physician’s license is telling you something. So is one that publishes half the record and does not say which half is missing. The rest of our question library is at GLP-1 questions.
Frequently asked questions
Does a license lookup prove the medication is safe? No. A license is about a person’s or a business’s authority to operate in your state. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and do not go through FDA premarket review for safety, effectiveness or quality, whatever the dispensing pharmacy’s license status.
Which state’s license should I check? The state you are physically in during the visit. A prescriber licensed in a neighboring state is not automatically authorized to treat you where you are, and the same applies to the pharmacy shipping to your address.
What if the board’s database shows nothing for the name I was given? Ask the practice for the exact legal name and the license number, then search again, because businesses often trade under a name different from the licensed one. If it still returns nothing, contact the board directly. Do not settle the question by trusting a second advertisement. What the unlicensed end of this market actually sells is covered in where GLP-1 medication online comes from, and how regulators have been acting on it is in the 2026 telehealth enforcement wave.
Sources and scope
Board names and lookup addresses come from our own state registry, the same source as each state page. Every address in the table was requested on October 7, 2026, and all of them answered. Six returned an automated-traffic block rather than a page, which is bot protection rather than evidence that the lookup has moved, and two are listed at a corrected address because the registry’s was dead or redirected. That is a check on the addresses, not a verification of any individual license record. Boards move their portals without notice; if a link here fails, search for that state’s board by name. This page asserts no accreditation, no independent testing program and no treatment outcome.
