WakefieldAt its meeting on October 7, 2021 the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Donald R. Griger, M.D. and Paul Sorgi. M.D.

The Board reprimanded Dr. Donald R. Griger’s license to practice medicine after he agreed in a Consent Order that he engaged in conduct that undermines the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession. Dr. Griger was first licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts on January 12, 2000. He currently practices medicine in Springfield.

The Board accepted Dr. Paul Sorgi’s resignation of his right to renew his license to practice medicine. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Sorgi was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from July 1, 1982 until he failed to renew his license on January 18, 2019. He last practiced medicine in Michigan.

The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine licenses more than 40,000 physicians, osteopaths and acupuncturists.  The Board was created in 1894 to protect the public health and safety by setting standards for the practice of medicine and ensuring that doctors who practice in the Commonwealth are appropriately qualified and competent. The Board investigates complaints and determines sanctions. More information is available at www.mass.gov/massmedboard, or you may contact the Board at borimmedia@massmail.state.ma.us.
