Texas Physician Assistant Board suspends San Antonio physician assistant

[STATE NEWS] On December 20, 2019, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Physician Assistant Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the Texas physician assistant license of Thomas Ralph Cook, P.A., after determining his continuation in the practice as a physician assistant poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The suspension was effective immediately.

 

The Board panel found that Mr. Cook has violated the terms and conditions of his 2017 Agreed Order by conducting house calls where he performed physical examinations without a chaperone present as required under the order.

 

A temporary suspension hearing with notice will be held as soon as practicable with 10 days' notice to Mr. Cook, unless the hearing is specifically waived by Mr. Cook.

 

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