The state Board of Registration in Medicine has suspended the license of a prominent North Shore psychiatrist following allegations that he engaged in sexual activity with patients, finding that he cannot safely practice medicine.
Dr. Keith R. Ablow poses “an immediate and serious threat to public health,” the board announced in a statement Thursday.
The panel alleges that Ablow “engaged in sexual activity and boundary violations with multiple patients, diverted controlled substances from patients, engaged in disruptive behavior, including displaying and pointing a firearm on multiple occasions..." according to the statement.
Ablow, who practices in Newburyport, allegedly “procured his license renewal fraudulently,” according to the board, which is responsible for licensing, regulating, and disciplining 40K physicians, osteopaths, and acupuncturists. The board took the disciplinary action on Wednesday
