On August 13, 2015, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license of Erika Irene Zimmerman, M.D., after determining her continuation in the practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.

The Board panel found that due to Dr. Zimmerman’s continual noncompliance with the Board’s drug testing and her Texas Physician Health Program agreement, an Order of Temporary Suspension is warranted. Additionally, the Board found Dr. Zimmerman was prescribing controlled substances during the time her license was previously suspended.

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

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