How to file a board complaint in New Jersey
Complaints about licensed practitioners in New Jersey go to the board that issued the license. For MDs and DOs that is the New Jersey Medical Board. For chiropractors it is the NEW JERSEY STATE BOARD OF CHIROPRACTIC EXAMINERS. Anyone can file, you do not need to be a patient, and every link below goes to the board's own published process.
- Confirm the practitioner's license with the state lookup below.
- Describe what you observed in your own words, with dates, links, and screenshots.
- Submit through the board's portal, form, mail, email, or fax as listed.
- The board reviews the complaint, may investigate, and decides the outcome.
A complaint is a request for the board to review conduct; it is not a finding, and filing one does not make an accusation true. Boards decide; we do not allege.
