Texas Physician Assistant Board restricts San Antonio physician assistant
Comments : Off
On October 23, 2020, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Physician Assistant Board temporarily restricted, with notice, the Texas physician assistant license of Thomas Ralph Cook, P.A. (Lic. No. PA05138), after determining his continuation in the unrestricted practice as a physician assistant poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The restriction was effective immediately.
Mr. Cook is prohibited from practicing as a physician assistant in any home health care practice setting.
The Board panel found that Mr. Cook has violated the terms and conditions of his 2017 Agreed Order by conducting house calls where he performed physical examinations without a chaperone present as required under the order.
The temporary restriction remains in place until the Board takes further action. The 2017 Order, as modified, remains in effect until superseded by another Board Order.
