On October 29, 2015, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, with notice, the Texas medical license of Katherine Louise Blanchette., 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 Dr. Blanchette was operating unregistered pain management clinics and failed to properly supervise her midlevel who was non-therapeutically prescribing controlled substances.

Dr. Blanchette’s conduct, including her improper supervision and prescribing practices, makes her a continuing threat to the public health and welfare.

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