Of course. You can look up the doctor's record with the American Medical Association, your state or local health board, and several other ways.
You can also just ask the doctor. ;)

It's public record. You should be able to search for it at a court database, or maybe find it online on the State Medical license board. I know you can for Chiropractors (my profession).

Yes.

Complaints and/or lawsuits are generally public record anyway. You just have to go look.
