WAKEFIELD — WAKEFIELD: The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Christian G. Heinis, M.D. and Anthony G. Eaton, M.D.
In a Consent Order, Dr. Christian G. Heinis agreed to a stayed suspension of his license to practice medicine after he admitted that he engaged in disruptive behavior with nine patients and failed to maintain adequate medical records for five patients in conformity with the law. The suspension was immediately stayed upon Dr. Heinis entering into a Probation Agreement requiring him to complete a practice audit, which will include a review of his prescribing, dispensing and documentation practices and requiring him to adopt any recommendations made by the audit entity. Dr. Heinis, who is board certified in emergency medicine, was first licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts on June 2, 2004. Dr. Heinis is also licensed to practice medicine in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
