CASE SUMMARY
A physician’s license was suspended effective December 1, 2010, following a hearing in which the Hearing Committee sustained charges of having been disciplined by the Virginia State Board of Medicine for negligent conduct, dangerous to patient health and welfare, and performing acts likely to deceive, defraud, or harm the public. The New York suspension is contingent upon the status of the physician’s licenses in Virginia and Pennsylvania. Once those state licenses are fully reinstated and suspensions lifted, the physician may petition the Office of Professional Medical Conduct to have the New York suspension lifted as well.
