- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine recently took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Robert T. Dunn, M.D. and Richard A. Brodie, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board immediately stayed the suspension of Dr. Robert T. Dunn’s license to practice medicine after he acknowledged that he had admitted to sufficient facts to find him guilty of both possession of a Class B substance and negligent operation of a motor vehicle. The suspension of Dr. Dunn’s license was immediately stayed upon the Board approving his entry into a Probation Agreement which requires, among other provisions, a Board-approved practice plan with a workplace monitor and continued compliance with Physicians Health Services. Dr. Dunn is board-certified in Psychiatry by the American Board of American Specialties. He has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since May 26, 1999. He is also licensed to practice medicine in Illinois, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.
The Board accepted Dr. Richard A. Brodie’s resignation of his medical license. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Brodie, a board-certified internist, was first licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts on May 21, 1984. Until his resignation, Dr. Brodie practiced medicine in a private practice in Brookline.
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.
