You are at a university, right? It might just be the case that old pdoc didn't bother to get hospital privlidges b/c her colleague at the univeristy clinic has them. Maybe she figured that she didn't want to bother with the hassle b/c if she had a patient who needed to be hospitalized she could have her colleague do it. It is not a reflection on skill.
AND, if he were a bad pdoc, the hospital wouldn't want to be associated with him. ESPECIALLY if he kept sending patients who didn't need to be there. Don't over-think it. If there were reason to worry, p-babblers would tell you.
Best,
