On June 26, 2015, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily restricted, with notice, the Texas medical license of Gregory Carrington Cooke, M.D., after determining his continuation in the practice of labor and delivery poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The restriction was effective immediately.

The restriction prohibits Dr. Cooke from engaging in the practice of labor and delivery.

The Board panel found that Dr. Cooke’s treatment of five patients significantly violated the standard of care warranting a temporary restriction of Dr. Cooke’s license. Dr. Cooke engaged in a pattern of mismanagement of labor and delivery, resulting in adverse outcomes including fetal demise.

Dr. Cooke’s lack of adequate attention, unavailability, and poor management of labor and delivery for multiple patients makes his continued practice of labor and delivery a continuing threat to the public health and welfare.

The temporary restriction remains in place until the Board takes further action.
