WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Shaun A. Kink, M.D., Kenneth Guarnieri, M.D., Salman S. Ghiasuddin, M.D. and Edwin Ishoo, M.D.
In a Final Decision & Order, the Board revoked Dr. Shaun A. Kink’s right to renew his license to practice medicine after finding that he had been criminally convicted of Solicitation of a Sexual Act and had admitted to engaging in sexual relations with a patient. Dr. Kink, an orthopaedic surgeon, was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from March 24, 2016 until June 11, 2019, when he let his license lapse. He last practiced medicine in Illinois.
In a Consent Order, the Board reprimanded the medical license of Dr. Kenneth Guarnieri after he agreed that his care and treatment of a patient placed into question his competence to practice medicine, specifically in his prescribing of opiates to that patient. The Consent Order also requires Dr. Guarnieri to complete ten additional Continuing Medical Education credits. Dr. Guarnieri, an internist, has been licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts since May 3, 1989. He practices medicine in a private office in Webster.
The Board reprimanded Dr. Salman S.
