Office of Professional Medical Conduct and Physician Discipline

The Office of Professional Misconduct (OPMC) is responsible for investigating complaints about physicians, physician’s assistants and specialist’s assistants. These complaints involve a wide range of possible acts of alleged misconduct, including but not limited to fraudulent practice, gross negligence, criminal activity and practicing while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The OPMC launches an extensive investigation into each complaint before any disciplinary hearing is held with the medical processional being investigated. If there is sufficient evidence that a professional may have acted inappropriately, a disciplinary hearing is held before a committee of the Board for Professional Medical Conduct.

By the time a medical professional is called to a disciplinary hearing, the OPMC has already gathered substantial evidence of alleged misconduct. Given the gravity of the proceeding and the possible consequences (license revocation, fines, censure), only the best representation will do. Geisler & Gabriele’s attorneys have extensive experience defending medical professionals before the OPMC, and litigate every claim with the vigor, tenacity and savvy that our clients need when facing such potentially devastating charges.
