Hi. I just want to clarify the question: you're a patient, and you would like to know if the oncologist you're consulting is qualified or certified to practice oncology in Texas?
If this is the case, then you could simply ask the oncologist or the primary physician who is referring you to provide you with some credentials. I think you're well within your rights as a patient to demand this, and I'm sure your doctor would be quite willing to extend you this service.
What kind of credentials should you look for? I've listed down some of the things you may want to ask:
1. The medical school and the hospital where the oncologist had his training
2. How many years he's been practicing
3. His hospital affiliations
4. His memberships in specialty societies (example: American Society of Clinical Oncology [ASCO] or European Society of Medical Oncology [ESMO])
5. US medical board and specialty board certifications (or any other internationally recognized certification)
I hope this helps. Feel free to make a post if you have additional questions.
