- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — At its meeting on April 6, 2023, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of LaTania Akers-White, M.D. and Glenn B. Gutierrez, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board reprimanded the license of Dr. LaTania Akers-White after Dr. Akers-White agreed that she had been disciplined by the Virginia Board of Medicine for reasons substantially similar to those for which Massachusetts could impose discipline, to wit, for dispensing and prescribing violations, including dispensing controlled substances to patients after her license to dispense had expired and prescribing medications to patients without any related examinations and documentation in their medical records. Dr. Akers-White has been licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts since June 11, 2020. Dr. Akers-White is licensed in multiple jurisdictions and last practiced medicine in Virginia.
The Board also accepted the resignation of Dr. Glenn B. Gutierrez’s right to renew his medical license. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Gutierrez was first licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth on September 6, 1989. He last practiced medicine at Lahey Clinic in North Billerica. Dr. Gutierrez is currently licensed to practice medicine in Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
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.
