The College of Chiropodists of Ontario alleged that the registrant committed professional misconduct by participating in an arrangement where patients received free shoes if they purchased orthotics.

The registrant admitted to failing to perform complete assessments, using improper casting techniques, and submitting false or misleading records to an insurance company.

Proceeding on an Agreed Statement of Facts and Joint Submission on Penalty, the Discipline Tribunal found the misconduct proven.

The Tribunal accepted the joint submission and ordered a reprimand, a 10-month suspension, practice restrictions, and $10,000 in costs.

The Member faced allegations of professional misconduct for breaching an undertaking to permanently resign and cease practicing chiropody.

Despite the undertaking, the Member continued to practice, use the restricted title of 'Dr.', and hold himself out as a podiatrist.

The Member admitted to the allegations in an uncontested hearing.

The Discipline Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering an oral reprimand, immediate revocation of the Member's certificate of registration, and costs of $23,000.
