One of Incorporation Attorney’s clients is a D.O (doctor of osteopathy) who wanted to operate under a fictitious name. In the process, he encountered a significant challenge. While he first assumed registering with the California Medical Board would suffice, he later discovered that he was also required to get approval from the Medical Board for Doctors of Osteopathy. This regulatory body imposed stringent naming conventions, mandating that the fictitious name must contain one of six specific word groups related to osteopathy.

Unaware of these specific requirements, our client submitted his initial application with a proposed fictitious name that did not align with the Medical Board for Doctors of Osteopathy’s guidelines. Consequently, his application was rejected, and he found himself back at the starting point, having wasted valuable time and resources. Recognizing the complexities involved, our client sought the expertise of Incorporation Attorney, a firm specializing in guiding medical professionals through the legal and regulatory landscape.

Under the guidance of Incorporation Attorney, our was able to navigate the naming requirements successfully and obtain approval from both regulatory bodies. The approved fictitious name not only satisfied the legal prerequisites but also reflected the nature of his osteopathic practice. His experience underscores the importance of seeking professional guidance when navigating the intricate legal and regulatory requirements associated with establishing a medical practice, as partnering with experts can help avoid costly missteps and ensure compliance.
