VA Board of Medicine: Dr. Charles Weisman Suspended
The Virginia Board of Medicine recently suspended the medical license of Staunton physician Charles Weisman for several violations of the Code of Virginia and of the Board’s General Regulations.
According to the Board’s recently published disciplinary order Weisman often used marijuana and alcohol while in his office and on call, sexually assaulted several members of his staff, was verbally and physically abusive to patients, and provided controlled substances to patients with little to no explanation. Weisman was also determined to have lied on his initial application for a Virginia medical license when he stated that he had never been dismissed from any physician position when in fact he had been fired from three separate residency programs. Weisman was also adjudged to have falsified the same application when he stated that he had no mental incapacities that would prevent him from practicing medicine. In 1993 and again in 2001 Weisman underwent psychological testing that indicated he did not have the mental capacity to practice medicine due to lapses in sequential reasoning and complex verbal memory.
Dr. Weisman’s actions have not only caught the eye of the Board of Medicine but also the police. Weisman was charged with two counts of simple assault back in February for the sexual advances he made on his employees. He was convicted during his recent trial but the judge agreed to set the verdict aside for consideration following a 12 month probationary period.
According to the Board’s order Weisman will be able to petition for reinstatement after 36 months.
