Virginia Board of Dentistry summarily suspends Dr. Daniel Chun’s license, schedules formal hearing

The Virginia Board of Dentistry on Nov. 13, 2025 voted to summarily suspend the license of Daniel Chun, D.D.S., concluding his practice posed a substantial danger to public health or safety and scheduling a formal hearing. The action followed an adjudication consultant’s presentation to the Board and closed deliberations held under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act exception for deliberative matters.

The Board convened by telephone at 5:16 p.m. to consider summary-suspension actions in cases 241029, 242468, 245004 and 245182 under Virginia Code § 54.1-2408.1(A). Rebecca Smith, adjudication consultant, provided information and answered questions that the Board said it needed to determine whether Dr. Chun’s practice created a substantial danger to public health or safety. Board counsel and staff were authorized to attend the closed deliberations.

Dr. Alf Hendricksen moved that the Board summarily suspend Dr. Chun’s license and schedule a formal hearing; the motion was seconded and, after a roll-call vote, passed. The transcript records the motion and its passage but does not provide the vote tally or a date for the formal hearing. The Board’s action was taken with seven members present and a quorum established; Sultan E. Chaudhry, D.D.S., was the presiding officer.

The summary suspension removes Dr. Chun’s authority to practice in the Commonwealth pending the scheduled formal hearing. The transcript does not detail the specific allegations or evidence beyond Ms. Smith’s summary that supported the Board’s finding of substantial danger to public health or safety. The Board adjourned at 5:56 p.m.

Next steps: the Board scheduled a formal hearing to consider the underlying matters; the transcript does not specify the hearing date or the exact vote tally on the suspension motion.
