The registrant, a family physician, failed to respond to a patient's repeated requests to complete insurance forms and another patient's requests to forward medical records to their lawyer.

She also failed to cooperate with the College's investigation into these complaints.

Based on an agreed statement of facts, the Tribunal found the registrant engaged in professional misconduct.

Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Tribunal ordered a reprimand, a three-month suspension of her certificate of registration, specified educational and practice monitoring requirements, and $6,000 in costs.

The College alleged that the registrant engaged in professional misconduct based on findings by the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ).

The Quebec Tribunal found the registrant committed misconduct by advertising and paying for egg donations in contravention of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act, and by making disparaging remarks about a colleague.

The Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal found that the registrant's actions constituted professional misconduct in Ontario.

Accepting a joint submission, the Tribunal ordered a reprimand, a two-month suspension, ethics training, and costs of $6,000.
