- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine recently took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Amy Agrawal, M.D, Brian J. Poore, M.D. and Elaine Celeste Jones, M.D.
In a Final Decision and Order, the Board indefinitely suspended Dr. Amy Agrawal’s right to renew her medical license after finding that she failed to respond to a Board subpoena and never communicated with the Board about that failure. Dr. Agrawal, who is board-certified in psychiatry, was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from September 11, 2013 until December 18, 2025 when her license lapsed. She last practiced medicine at the Boston VA Healthcare System. Dr. Agrawal is also licensed in Missouri.
In another Final Decision and Order, the Board indefinitely suspended Dr. Brian J. Poore’s right to renew his license to practice medicine after finding that he had been disciplined by the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners for reasons substantially similar to those for which Massachusetts could impose discipline, to wit, by practicing medicine while impaired. Dr. Poore, an anesthesiologist, was licensed in Massachusetts from December 11, 1996 until April 30, 1999 when his license lapsed. He currently practices medicine in Tennessee.
The Board also accepted Dr. Elaine Celeste Jones’ resignation of her medical license. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Jones, a neurologist, has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since January 21, 1998. Dr. Jones is currently licensed to practice medicine in eleven states.
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.
