On November 18, 2019, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas medical license Emad Mikhail Tewfik Bishai, 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 or about November 4, 2019, in Montgomery County, warrants for the arrest for Dr. Bishai were issued related to four felony counts of prescribing controlled substances for other than medical purposes, and five felony counts of practicing medicine in violation of the Medical Practices Act; the charges were related to the deaths of four patients. Dr. Bishai was arrested on November 5, 2019, after surrendering to authorities.
A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days' notice to Dr. Bishai, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Dr. Bishai.
The temporary suspension remains in place until the Board takes further action.
