Board denies doctor’s reapplication amid serious misconduct allegations
In a recent government meeting, the board unanimously voted against the reapplication of Dr. Borsuk, citing concerns over the validity of supporting information provided by a practice administrator rather than a qualified peer or physician. Board members expressed apprehension regarding Dr. Borsuk's past disciplinary issues, particularly related to inappropriate prescribing practices, which could lead to further hearings if reinstated.

The roll call vote revealed a consistent stance among board members, with all present voting \"no\" on the recommendation for reinstatement. This decision underscores the board's commitment to maintaining high standards of medical practice and patient safety.

Following this, the board turned its attention to a proposed consent order for Dr. Orek, who faced allegations of failing to meet the standard of care while providing psychiatric services from 2015 to 2021. Specific concerns included inadequate monitoring of patient medication levels and insufficient record-keeping. Dr. Orek has since completed a two-day education course on prescribing practices, which was deemed acceptable by the Department of Developmental Services. The consent order includes a reprimand and a civil penalty of $10,000.

The meeting highlighted the board's rigorous approach to evaluating medical professionals and ensuring accountability within the healthcare system.
