Are there any malpractice claims or disciplinary records for Pete Sulack in state medical board databases?
Executive summary
I found no state medical board disciplinary record or malpractice-payment entry specifically for "Pete Sulack" in the provided search results; available sources include a biographical listing for Dr. Pete Sulack at Progressive Medical Center and speaker‑bureau copy but do not show any board actions or NPDB/disciplinary database entries for him [1] [2]. The materials I reviewed explain where disciplinary records are usually kept and how to search them (state license lookups, FSMB/NPDB), but those sources do not report any action against Sulack [3] [4] [5].
1. What the records you supplied actually contain — and what they don’t
The search results include a provider profile for "Dr. Pete Sulack" on Progressive Medical Center’s site and a booking/speaker biography on All American Speakers, which present a professional background and speaking résumé but contain no disciplinary or malpractice data [1] [2]. The returns also include general guides on where to look for disciplinary records — ProPublica’s guide to state board lookups and the NPDB data‑tool page — but none of the supplied pages show a specific state board order, malpractice payment report, or NPDB match for Sulack [3] [4].
2. Where disciplinary and malpractice reports normally appear (so you can look yourself)
State medical boards post license verifications and, in many states, disciplinary orders on their license‑lookup pages; ProPublica’s consumer guide recommends starting with the state medical board or the Federation of State Medical Boards’ DocInfo search for disciplinary histories [3]. Federally, the National Practitioner Data Bank compiles malpractice payments and adverse actions and offers a Data Analysis Tool for aggregated datasets through June 30, 2025, but the NPDB does not permit public searches that identify individual practitioners outside authorized queries [4] [5].
3. What the supplied sources say about limits and privacy
The NPDB’s Data Analysis Tool provides aggregated AAR and MMPR data but is explicitly designed to prevent identifying individual practitioners for public research uses; state boards vary — some publish full records online, others require requests or fees — meaning an absence in publicly indexed pages does not prove absence everywhere [4] [3]. The FSMB explains that state boards submit board orders and that those are matched in national data centers, but the FSMB/PDC material in the search results does not include a public, per‑name lookup in the provided snippets [5].
4. What I could not verify from the provided material
The provided search results do not include any state medical board license‑lookup page, DocInfo/FSMB search output, NPDB individual report, or a state enforcement listing naming Pete Sulack. Therefore I cannot verify whether there are disciplinary actions or malpractice payments associated with him in databases not included among your results; that absence in these results is not evidence that no records exist elsewhere (not found in current reporting; [1]; p2_s9).
5. Practical next steps, based on authoritative sources in the results
- Check the state medical board license lookup for the state where Sulack is licensed; ProPublica’s guide explains each state’s differing processes and suggests DocInfo as a cross‑state resource [3].
- Use the FSMB/Physician Data Center channels or DocInfo to search for disciplinary histories across states; FSMB materials describe that state orders are collected in the PDC [5].
- If you need malpractice‑payment data in aggregate, the NPDB Data Analysis Tool provides datasets through June 30, 2025; note it is intended for aggregated/research use and not for identifying individuals publicly [4].
6. How to interpret any results you find
If a state board shows an order or the FSMB/DocInfo returns an action, those are formal disciplinary steps and the board documents will state the sanction and rationale [5]. If NPDB data indicates a medical malpractice payment linked to a practitioner in an authorized query, that represents a reported payment — many malpractice matters settle confidentially and reporting rules vary, so absence of a public verdict does not guarantee absence of settled reports to NPDB [4].
Limitations: my analysis uses only the search results you provided; those results contain no direct disciplinary or malpractice entries for Pete Sulack and do not include the state license databases or DocInfo output that would definitively confirm or deny state board records [1] [2] [3] [4].
