discipline summaries botox injections . That evening , Dr . Tadros initiated sexual contact with Patient C , and had sexual intercourse with her in his office . The sexual relationship between Dr . Tadros and Patient C continued for many years ( until approximately 2012 ) and included sexual intercourse and oral sex . Dr . Tadros would often call Patient C and ask her to come to the office , where they would have sexual intercourse and oral sex in Dr . Tadros ’ back room or rehabilitation room . On occasion , after they had sexual intercourse , Dr . Tadros would inject Patient C with botox . She did not pay him money for these injections .
Contravened Terms , Conditions and Limitations On July 15 , 2014 , the Inquiries , Complaints and Reports Committee ( ICRC ) of the College made an order under s . 37 of the Health Professions Procedural Code and directed the Registrar to impose terms , conditions and limitations on Dr . Tadros ’ certificate of registration , including that Dr . Tadros shall not engage in any professional encounter or interaction with any female person , except in the presence of a monitor . Dr . Tadros failed to comply with the terms of the s . 37 Order by , among other things , repeatedly having professional encounters and interactions with female patients without a monitor , failing to comply with the requirements of the Order regarding posting a sign , failing to maintain a log and failing to submit to and not interfere with unannounced inspections of his office and practice by the College for the purposes of monitoring and enforcing his compliance with the terms of the s . 37 Order . As a result of information received by the ICRC regarding Dr . Tadros ’ breach of the s . 37 Order , on September 16 , 2014 , the ICRC varied the terms of the s . 37 Order . One of the conditions was that Dr . Tadros shall not engage in any professional encounter or interaction with any female person . Dr . Tadros breached the terms of the s . 37 Order , varied on September 16 , 2014 , by continuing to have professional encounters and interactions with multiple female patients . Examples of this include , but are not limited to , Dr . Tadros performing botox / filler injections on multiple female patients at a medical spa when he was prohibited from treating female patients . Dr . Tadros never advised the owners of that medical spa of the terms of s . 37 Order made July 15 , 2014 or the terms of the s . 37 Order as varied on September 16 , 2014 , nor did he ever post a sign at this practice location . On November 7 , 2014 , as a result of information received by the ICRC regarding Dr . Tadros ’ breach of the s . 37 Order of September 16 , 2014 , the ICRC further varied the terms of the s . 37 Order , directing the Registrar to suspend Dr . Tadros ’ certificate of registration effective November 8 , 2014 .
Reasons for Penalty With respect to penalty , the Committee found that the immediate mandatory revocation of Dr . Tadros ’ certificate of registration will serve to protect the public from any further misconduct by him . It will also serve to maintain public confidence in the integrity and reputation of the medical profession , and in its capacity for effective self-governance in the public interest . The public must trust that no physician will ever misuse his position of trust and authority to take advantage of patients in the way that Dr . Tadros has done . The Committee regarded the behaviour of Dr . Tadros to be the most serious professional misconduct . His sexual abuse of three patients demonstrated an egregious predatory pattern of seducing vulnerable patients with compliments and promises of extra care , including continued botox treatments at no cost . Dr . Tadros often used his clinical office , which should have been a safe haven , as the site for his personal sexual gratification . This abuse of vulnerable patients over the span of many years , in one case , decades , is a most disgraceful disregard of the fundamental principles of the profession . During this period of sexually abusing patients , Dr . Tadros provided care to family members of the abused women , including the denial of optimal management of low libido for the husband of one patient . The Committee was struck by the cold , calculating and callous nature of this manipulative behaviour , again done solely so that he could continue to have sexual gratification for himself .
