- Board of Registration in Medicine
WAKEFIELD — On September 4, 2024, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine took disciplinary action against the medical license of Kristen A. Lindgren, M.D.
The Board summarily suspended Dr. Kristen A. Lindgren’s medical license after finding that she poses an immediate and serious threat to the public health, safety and welfare. The Board alleges that Dr. Lindgren has provided substandard care to her patients by failing to complete and/or provide medical records, failing to refill prescriptions and failing to communicate with her patients, their families and staff on an on-going basis. Dr. Lindgren has the right to a hearing at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals within seven days. Dr. Lindgren is board certified in neurology, with a special qualification in child neurology. She has been licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth since June 16, 2016. Dr. Lindgren owns her own medical practice in Newton.
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.
