The College of Optometrists of Ontario brought allegations of professional misconduct against the respondent for failing to maintain proper patient and financial records, failing to issue receipts, and failing to ensure patient confidentiality.
The respondent pled guilty to the allegations and admitted to the facts in an Agreed Statement of Facts.
The Discipline Committee found the respondent guilty of professional misconduct.
The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, $5,000 in costs, and a two-month suspension that would be fully suspended if the respondent successfully completed a period of practice coaching.
