On October 10, 2019, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license of Stephen Allen Smith, 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. Smith's prescribing for 15 patients were reviewed and it was determined that Dr. Smith was engaging in pill-mill-type activities which demonstrate he is a danger to the public.
A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days' notice to Dr. Smith, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Dr. Smith.
The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
