Your local state board is in charge. If you have a complaint, you would file it with them. If a doctor logs a sufficient # of complaints, the board will look into it. With medical procedure, doctors should discuss your risks, benefits and alternatives, as well, as any possible complications or side effects.
Doctors are regulated by state medical boards. If you think you were mistreated, complain to your state board. They will investigate the issue and, if the doctor is at fault, force him to take corrective action, limit his licence or even remove him from practice.
See the link below for a list of state boards; your state board’s website will include instructions on how to file a complaint.
