messages with her. Dr. Tadros would regularly administer botox / fillers to Patient A after they finished having sexual intercourse and oral sex. Patient A did not pay Dr. Tadros money for these injections. Dr. Tadros failed to cooperate with the College investigation related to Patient A including:
• Dr. Tadros repeatedly failed to produce Patient A’ s chart despite repeated requests.
• Ultimately, Dr. Tadros provided a falsified chart( indicating that the money Patient A had paid for botox / fillers was for cosmetics she purchased at the clinic) in order to mislead the College and support his false assertion that Patient A was never his patient.
• Dr. Tadros provided information to the College knowing it was false including that Patient A only bought cosmetic products from his assistant, that he did not treat Patient A, that he could not transcribe her chart because it was written by his cosmetician, and in response to requests from the College for Patient A’ s original chart( rather than a photocopy), Dr. Tadros said that he could not find Patient A’ s original chart, that it must have been misplaced, and reiterated that Patient A had purchased products.
• Dr. Tadros also had his staff provide information to the College that he knew to be false in order to mislead the College in its investigation of Patient A’ s complaint. Dr. Tadros threatened Patient A and pressured her into sending an email and a letter to the College investigator stating that Dr. Tadros was not her physician at any time, and requesting, in the email that her complaint be withdrawn.
PATIent B Patient B became a patient of Dr. Tadros’ in 1989, along with her children and husband. Dr. Tadros treated Patient B for various medical issues and ailments between 1989 and 2012, including anxiety and depression. A few years after Patient B became Dr. Tadros’ patient, Dr. Tadros began to compliment Patient B, and mentioned that he might be able to offer her a job in his office as a secretary. On one of Patient B’ s appointments with Dr. Tadros, he told her that she seemed down, and asked her to come back to his office that evening when he would have more time to spend with her to discuss her feeling down. On a subsequent after-hours visit to his office, Dr. Tadros initiated sexual contact with Patient B and had sexual intercourse with her in his office. The sexual relationship between Dr. Tadros and Patient B continued for many years, mostly at his office after hours, while Dr. Tadros continued to provide regular care and treatment to Patient B, her husband and their children. Patient B’ s husband found out about Dr. Tadros’ sexual relationship with Patient B when he overheard Dr. Tadros and Patient B on the phone. Dr. Tadros denied the relationship when Patient B’ s husband confronted him. In his response to the College, Dr. Tadros denied having a sexual relationship with Patient B while she was his patient. He told the College, among other things, that he had a relationship with Patient B prior to her becoming his patient, that Patient B had tried to harass him into restarting the relationship, that Patient B and her husband were“ creating an issue to discredit” him. Dr. Tadros provided this information to the College knowing it was false, in order to try to discredit Patient B and her husband and to mislead the College in its investigation. Dr. Tadros’ assistant wrote a letter to the College which stated that Patient B told her that her relationship with Dr. Tadros started and ended before Patient B became his patient, and that although Patient B wished to re-start the relationship, Dr. Tadros“ totally refused.” Dr. Tadros provided this information to the College knowing that it was false, in order to mislead the College in its investigation. During its investigation, the College requested that Dr. Tadros transcribe his medical record for Patient B, as it was illegible. The transcription omitted many entries in Patient B’ s medical record.
