TMB suspends Fort Worth physician
Comments : Off
On October 8, 2020, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license of Caesar Mark Capistrano, M.D. (Lic. No. J8943) after determining his continuation in the practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.
The Board panel found that on September 21, 2020, Dr. Capistrano was charged, along with co-conspirator Tameka Lachelle Noel, M.D., with operating a pill mill which, according to the federal criminal complaint, was recruiting patients from homeless shelters to distribute prescription drugs.
A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days’ notice to Dr. Capistrano, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Dr. Capistrano.
The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
