- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical license of Courtney E. Barrows, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board indefinitely suspended Dr. Courtney E. Barrows’ right to renew her license to practice medicine after she acknowledged in a Consent Order that she had been disciplined by the State Medical Board of Ohio for reasons substantially similar to those for which Massachusetts could impose discipline, to wit, for practicing medicine while her ability to do so was impaired. Dr. Barrows, a general surgeon, was licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth from December 17, 2015 until October 13, 2020. She is licensed to practice medicine in Tennessee and New Hampshire.
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.
