The member, an optometrist, faced allegations of professional misconduct for providing unnecessary diagnostic and treatment services, inappropriate billing of OHIP and patients, making unsupported diagnoses, and failing to maintain adequate records.
The matter proceeded on an Agreed Statement of Facts and a Joint Submission on Order and Costs.
The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct and accepted the joint submission, ordering a reprimand, a 3.5-month suspension, practice monitoring, educational courses, and $25,000 in costs.
