- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine recently took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Paulo J. Oliveira, M.D. and George A. Csank, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board immediately stayed the suspension of Dr. Paulo J. Oliveira’s license to practice medicine after he admitted that he committed misconduct in the practice of medicine when he failed to maintain professionalism when interacting with an individual under his supervision. As Dr. Oliveira demonstrated his fitness to practice medicine, the suspension was immediately stayed upon his entry into a Probation Agreement. Dr. Oliveira is a board-certified internist, with subspecialty certification in critical care medicine and pulmonary disease. He was first licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth on April 12, 2000. Dr. Oliveira is affiliated with MGB-Cooley Dickinson Hospital.
The Board accepted Dr. George A. Csank’s resignation of his medical license. Resignation is a disciplinary action that permanently removes a physician from the practice of medicine. Dr. Csank, who is certified in plastic surgery by the American Board of Medical Specialties, has been licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts since November 6, 1991. He previously practiced medicine in a private practice in Pittsfield.
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.
