- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — At its meeting on January 19, 2023, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Patricia Myers, M.D., Trinh Tran, M.D., and Neji Tangban, M.D.
In a Final Decision & Order, the Board indefinitely suspended Dr. Patricia Myers’ inchoate right to renew her medical license after she stipulated that she engaged in conduct that undermines the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession. Dr. Myers was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from March 2014 to June 2020. She currently practices medicine in Joplin, Missouri and is also licensed in Indiana.
In a Consent Order, the Board suspended Dr. Trinh Tran’s medical license after she agreed that she engaged in conduct that undermines the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession. This suspension was stayed immediately as Dr. Tran had entered into a Probation Agreement and updated her certification with the American Board of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Tran has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since May 2011. She entered into a Voluntary Agreement Not to Practice with the Board on November 3, 2021. Prior to that Agreement, Dr. Tran had privileges at Sturdy Memorial Hospital and Morton Hospital and Medical Center.
Dr. Neji Tangban also entered into a Probation Agreement pursuant to a Consent Order in which he agreed that he engaged in conduct which calls into question his competence to practice medicine practiced and that he violated the Board’s Disruptive Physician Behavior Policy. Dr. Tangban has been licensed to practice medicine since February 2009. He entered into a Voluntary Agreement Not to Practice Medicine on August 12, 2021. Dr. Tangban was last employed by Nashoba Valley Medical Center.
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.
