ATTLEBORO – The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine has taken disciplinary action against the medical licenses of four doctors, including one associated with Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
At its meeting last Thursday in Wakefield, the state council rebuked Dr. Donald G. Ross after agreeing in a warrant to engage in disruptive behavior, including sending unsolicited, sexually explicit emails to hospital employees.
Ross was licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts from November 15, 1989 to June 20, 2022, most recently at Sturdy Memorial Hospital.
“Dr. Ross is not a physician employed by Sturdy,” said Kathi Hague, spokeswoman for Sturdy Hospital. “He was a member of a multi-provider pathology group that Sturdy contracted pathology services for. Together with other providers from that group, Dr. Ross provided services to Sturdy for a short time and on a limited basis.”
In another consent order, the licensing board suspended Dr Camy Huynh’s right to renew indefinitely after finding her negligent and non-compliant with the standard of care in treating three patients.
Huynh, an internist, was licensed to practice medicine in the state between June 7, 2006, and August 12, 2019, when she entered into a voluntary agreement with the state council not to practice. She last practiced medicine as a hospital physician at Milford Regional Medical Center.
In another consent order, the board rebuked Dr. Liam A. Haveran after agreeing that he had admitted enough facts to warrant a plea of guilty on a criminal charge of assault and battery against another. The charges were dismissed after Haveran completed a year of administrative probation and an anger management course.
Haveran was first licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts on July 21, 2004. He practices medicine at Cape Cod Healthcare General, Special Surgery in Hyannis and is affiliated with Cape Cod Hospital.
The board accepted the resignation of Dr. Paul E. Glass of his license to practice medicine. Glass was first licensed in Massachusetts on October 8, 2014. He practiced medicine in private practice in Lenox until he entered a voluntary agreement on November 3 not to practice.
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine licenses more than 40,000 physicians, osteopaths, and acupuncturists. The board was established in 1894 to protect public health and safety by setting standards for medical practice and ensuring that physicians are suitably qualified and competent.
