Medical Malpractice Attorneys and Lawyers

How do you locate medical records to check if a physician has had a malpractice lawsuit brought against him?

My father will be seeing an optometrist who will be doing his cataract surgery and he wants me to check and see if I can find out over the internet if he has ever been successfully sued for medical malpractice. He is nervous about anyone doing surgery on his eyes. Thank you for your help!
