WAKEFIELDAt its meeting on December 15, 2022, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical license of Paul R. Johnson, M.D.

The Board accepted Dr. Paul R. Johnson’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. Johnson, a surgeon, was licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts from June 29, 1988 until he failed to renew his license on May 12, 1999.  He last practiced medicine in May 2019 in Maryland.

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.
