On June 30, 2015, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license of Robert J. Yetman, M.D., 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 June 25, 2015, a grand jury returned an indictment against Dr. Yetman, charging him with indecency with a child. Dr. Yetman posted bond on the same date. The contact took place on or about January 11, 2014, with a male who was younger than seventeen years of age. The victim was a patient who was seven years old at the time of the contact.

The panel finds a continuing threat to the public health, safety, or welfare that requires immediate effect of an Order of Temporary Suspension.

A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days’ notice to Dr. Yetman, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Dr. Yetman.

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