Wakefield — At its meeting on May 21, 2020, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical license of Russell L.R. Ryan, M.D.
The Board accepted Dr. Russell L.R. Ryan’s resignation of his right to renew his medical license.

He practiced at Massachusetts General Hospital until 2018.
The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine licenses more than 40,000 physicians, osteopaths and acupuncturists.
