WAKEFIELD — At its meeting on June 2, 2022, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Scott D. Dreiker, M.D. and John J. Diggins, M.D.
The Board suspended Dr. Scott D. Dreiker’s license to practice medicine after he agreed in a Consent Order that he engaged in disruptive behavior while practicing medicine.

He is currently employed by Steward Medical Group (SMG) Middleboro Multispecialty Group.
