- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine recently took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Anika T. Moore, M.D., Neeraj B. Chepuri, M.D. and Ingolf Tuerk, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board reprimanded Dr. Anika T. Moore’s medical license, upon her admission that she had been disciplined by the Medical Board of California for reasons substantially similar to those for which Massachusetts could impose discipline, to wit, by providing supervision for a nurse practitioner that deviated from the standard of care. Dr. Moore, who is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, was first licensed in the Commonwealth on December 3, 2015. She primarily practices medicine in Ohio. She is also licensed to practice medicine in California, Georgia and North Carolina.
The Board ratified the acceptance of Dr. Neeraj B. Chepuri’s resignation of his right to renew his medical license. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Chepuri is board-certified in Diagnostic Radiology, with subspecialty certification in Neuroradiology. He was licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts from June 30, 2016 until December 16, 2020.
The Board also ratified the acceptance of Dr. Ingolf Tuerk’s resignation of his right to renew his medical license. Dr. Tuerk, a urologist, was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from February 2, 2005 until May 19, 2020 when he entered into a Voluntary Agreement Not to Practice Medicine.
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 borimmediamassmail.state.ma.us.
