To my valued patients,

I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and trust. I remain fully committed to the principles that have always guided my practice—honesty, compassionate patient care, and transparency.

Out of respect for the integrity of the investigative process, and to avoid prejudicing any future proceedings, I will not be discussing the specific allegations or evidence at this time.

However, I believe it is important to share a few general facts. As of now, the matter has not yet been authorized for formal disciplinary proceedings by the College’s Complaints Authorization Committee. I remain fully cooperative with the process and confident that, in time, a full and fair review of the facts will allow for a clear resolution.

In the meantime, I want to reaffirm my unwavering commitment to every patient I’ve had the privilege to care for. Your well-being has always been, and will always remain, my highest priority.

Sincerely,
Dr. Marcus Hancock

A personal message from me

04/06/2025

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.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

I am writing to inform you of an important matter regarding my medical practice. The College of Physicians and Surgeons has placed me under an interim suspension while they conduct an investigation into allegations made against me. I want to assure you that these allegations are entirely false, and I am fully cooperating with the investigation to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.

I remain committed to upholding the highest standards of medical care. While this process unfolds, I understand that this situation may raise concerns, and I'm very sorry for any inconvenience it may cause you. I encourage you to seek appropriate assistance if you require immediate medical care. We will provide a list of resources that may be able to provide assistance later today.

Transparency and trust are essential in my relationship with my patients, and I will keep you informed as appropriate. At this time, the College of Physicians and Surgeons has not disclosed any information regarding timelines or due process. My patients are my first priority, and I will do everything in my power to return to providing you care as soon as I possibly can.

Thank you for your continued trust and support during this difficult time for myself and my children.
