To my patients, colleagues, and community,
I never imagined I’d have to write something like this—but the truth must be shared.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons has suspended my license without a hearing—without giving me or my legal team the opportunity to respond to allegations, and without disclosing the evidence the Registrar relied upon to take such an extreme and irreversible step.
Let me be clear:
The suspension was imposed without proper consideration of overtly inaccurate and fraudulent information—information that was never disclosed to me or my legal counsel before the decision was made.
Even now, full disclosure still has not been provided.
The investigator appointed by the College breached confidentiality and violated critical responsibilities tied to professionalism and fairness in regulatory proceedings.
I have spent my career committed to ethical, compassionate, and evidence-based care. I have upheld the Hippocratic Oath—to do no harm, to act with integrity, and to place my patients at the center of all that I do.
I did not make the decision to speak out lightly.
I have given long and difficult thought to the issues involved—the professional risks, the legal implications, and the potential impact on my patients and peers. After deep reflection, I came to the conclusion that sharing this is necessary—because transparency, fairness, and accountability matter.
This is no longer just a personal matter.
The decision to suspend me without due process has already caused real harm to patients and the public. Appointments were canceled. Ongoing care was disrupted. Vulnerable individuals were left without their physician, without warning or explanation. That is not in the public interest.
In any fair and democratic society, due process is not optional—it is essential.
It means no individual should be penalized or publicly sanctioned without the chance to know the case against them, review the evidence, and respond meaningfully. Without these protections, justice becomes arbitrary—and public trust is eroded.
I am continuing to challenge this process through the appropriate legal and professional channels. I remain committed to returning to the patients and community I care so deeply about.
To everyone who has reached out with support—thank you. Your encouragement has helped me stay strong during this extremely difficult time.
I believe in truth. I believe in fairness. I believe in justice.
And I believe those principles will prevail.
