- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — At its meeting on November 3, 2022, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical licenses of Jeremy Richards, M.D. and Saurabh Saxena, M.D.
In a Consent Order, the Board reprimanded Dr. Jeremy Richards’ medical license after Dr. Richards agreed that he had practiced medicine deceitfully by providing misinformation as to his whereabouts on two separate occasions. Dr. Richards also entered into a Probation Agreement with the Board. Dr. Richards has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since June 29, 2006.
The Board also admonished Dr. Saurabh Saxena after he admitted in a Consent Order that he engaged in conduct that undermines the public confidence in the integrity of the medical profession. Dr. Saxena was a cardiac surgeon fellow at the time. He was licensed to practice medicine in Massachusetts from August 21, 2018 until December 31, 2020.
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
