WAKEFIELD — The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Pedro E. Huertas, M.D. and Louise P. Lu, M.D.
On November 19, 2024, the Board admonished Dr. Pedro E.

Dr. Huertas, an internist, has been licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts since March 6, 1996. He is also licensed to practice medicine in California.
In another Consent Order, on November 21, 2024, the Board reprimanded Dr. Louise P.

Dr. Lu is board certified in Anesthesiology by the American Board of Medical Specialties. She has been licensed in the Commonwealth since June 29, 1988. Dr. Lu practices medicine at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. She is also licensed to practice medicine in California.
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.
