Last Updated 12/13/2020
Practitioner has had a disciplinary action taken by a professional licensing board in a state other than Virginia, or by a federal health institution, federal agency, or the voluntary surrender of a license in a state other than Virginia while under investigation
Date:
2018
Entity Taking Action:
Medical Board of California
Action Taken:
CA Medical Board granted Dr. Tavarez’s application for a license and reprimanded Dr. Tavarez based on a 2006 traffic infraction in New York that was not disclosed on Dr. Tavarez’s application for licensure. The Board found that Dr. Tavarez did not intentionally attempt to mislead the Board and issued a reprimand based on a California law that permits the Board to issue a reprimand to an applicant who has committed a minor violation. The reprimand does not restrict Dr. Tavarez’s license or ability to practice and is the least severe form of discipline available under California Board rules.
