DIALOGUE ISSUE 3, 2018
DR. RASIKLAL NARSHIDAS MORZARIA
PRACTICE LOCATION: Practice Address Not Available
AREA OF PRACTICE: Pediatrics
HEARING INFORMATION: Plea of No Contest; Statement
of Facts
On September 11, 2017, the Discipline Committee
found that Dr. Morzaria committed an act of pro-
fessional misconduct in that he has engaged in the
sexual abuse of a patient and in that he has engaged
in conduct or an act or omission relevant to the prac-
tice of medicine that, having regard to all the circum-
stances, would reasonably be regarded by members as
disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional.
Sexual Abuse of Patient A during Regular
Office Appointments
Dr. Morzaria treated Patient A from the time Patient
A was six years old until he was twelve.
When Patient A and his mother attended at Dr.
Morzaria’s office for appointments, Dr. Morzaria
would often ask Patient A’s mother to wait outside
the examination room, claiming that Patient A was
old enough to be seen alone. When alone with Pa-
tient A, Dr. Morzaria touched, rubbed/stroked and
played with Patient A’s penis. Dr. Morzaria would
ask Patient A if it felt good, and tell him to come
visit him on weekends. When Patient A’s mother was
in the room, Dr. Morzaria would usually just check
Patient A’s genitals to follow up on a prior medical
procedure.
At one appointment, while Patient A’s mother was
outside the examination room, Dr. Morzaria took his
penis out of his pants and asked Patient A to suck it.
Patient A refused, but was scared. Dr. Morzaria told
Patient A he was an undercover police officer and
that if he told anyone what was happening, he and
his family would spend the rest of their lives in jail,
which made Patient A afraid to tell his parents.
Sexual Abuse of Patient A during Weekend
Visits to Dr. Morzaria’s Office
Dr. Morzaria would sometimes pick Patient A up at
