Previous Hearings

Committee: Discipline
Decision Date: 06 May 2015
Summary:

On May 6, 2015, the Discipline Committee found that Dr. Tadros committed an act of professional misconduct, in that he engaged in the sexual abuse of patients; that he has engaged in conduct or an act or omission relevant to the practice of medicine that, having regard to all the circumstances, would reasonably be regarded by members as disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional; and that he contravened a term, condition or limitation on his certificate of registration. Dr. Tadros admitted to the allegations.

Patient A
Patient A became Dr. Tadros’ patient in 2009. She went to see him for botox/filler injections. After inviting Patient A for a complimentary touch up on the week-end when no one was in the office, Dr. Tadros initiated sexual contact with her, while giving her injections, by pressing his groin into the side of her body, and then kissing her. Dr. Tadros asked Patient A to come back the next evening and they had sexual intercourse and oral sex in Dr. Tadros’ office. Dr. Tadros and Patient A continued a sexual relationship, including sexual intercourse and oral sex, for well over a year. Dr. Tadros regularly contacted Patient A by telephone and exchanged sexually explicit text messages with her. Dr. Tadros would regularly administer botox/fillers to Patient A after they finished having sexual intercourse and oral sex. Patient A did not pay Dr. Tadros money for these injections.

Dr. Tadros failed to cooperate with the College investigation related to Patient A including:
• Dr. Tadros repeatedly failed to produce Patient A’s chart despite repeated requests
• Ultimately, Dr. Tadros provided a falsified chart (indicating that the money Patient A had paid for botox/fillers was for cosmetics she purchased at the clinic) in order to mislead the College and support his false assertion that Patient A was never his patient.
• Dr. Tadros provided information to the College knowing it was false including that Patient A only bought cosmetic products from his assistant, that he did not treat Patient, that he could not transcribe her chart because it was written by his cosmetician, and in response to requests from the College for Patient A’s original chart (rather than a photocopy), Dr. Tadros said that he could not find Patient A’s original chart, that it must have been misplaced, and reiterated that Patient A had purchased products.
• Dr. Tadros also had his staff provide information to the College that he knew to be false in order to mislead the College in its investigation of Patient A’s complaint.

Dr. Tadros threatened Patient A and pressured her into sending an email and a letter to the College investigator stating that Dr. Tadros was not her physician at any time, and requesting, in the email that her complaint be withdrawn.

Patient B
Patient B became a patient of Dr. Tadros’ in 1989, along with her children and husband. Dr. Tadros treated Patient B for various medical issues and ailments between 1989 and 2012, including anxiety and depression. A few years after Patient B became Dr. Tadros’ patient, Dr. Tadros began to compliment Patient B, and mentioned that he might be able to offer her a job in his office as a secretary. On one of Patient B’s appointments with Dr. Tadros, he told her that she seemed down, and asked her to come back to his office that evening when he would have more time to spend with her to discuss her feeling down. On a subsequent after-hours visit to his office, Dr. Tadros initiated sexual contact with Patient B and had sexual intercourse with her in his office. The sexual relationship between Dr. Tadros and Patient B continued for many years, mostly at his office after hours, while Dr. Tadros continued to provide regular care and treatment to Patient B, her husband and their children. Patient B’s husband found out about Dr. Tadros’ sexual relationship with Patient B when he overheard Dr. Tadros and Patient B on the phone. Dr. Tadros denied the relationship when Patient B’s husband confronted him.

In his response to the College, Dr. Tadros denied having a sexual relationship with Patient B while she was his patient. He told the College, among other things, that he had a relationship with Patient B prior to her becoming his patient, that Patient B had tried to harass him into restarting the relationship, that Patient B and her husband were “creating an issue to discredit” him. Dr. Tadros provided this information to the College knowing it was false, in order to try to discredit Patient B and her husband and to mislead the College in its investigation.

Dr. Tadros’ assistant wrote a letter to the College which stated that Patient B told her that her relationship with Dr. Tadros started and ended before Patient B became his patient, and that although Patient B wished to re-start the relationship, Dr. Tadros “totally refused.” Dr. Tadros provided this information to the College knowing that it was false, in order to mislead the College in its investigation.

During its investigation, the College requested that Dr. Tadros transcribe his medical record for Patient B, as it was illegible. The transcription omitted many entries in Patient B’s medical record.

Patient C
Patient C became Dr. Tadros’ patient in 1997, along with one of her children. From 1997 until 2014, Dr. Tadros was Patient C’s family physician and that of her children. Dr. Tadros also occasionally provided care to Patient C’s husband. Dr. Tadros treated Patient C for anxiety, panic attacks and depression as well as various other medical issues.

In approximately 2006, Dr. Tadros suggested that Patient C come to his office at the end of the day for botox injections. That evening, Dr. Tadros initiated sexual contact with Patient C, and had sexual intercourse with her in his office. The sexual relationship between Dr. Tadros and Patient C continued for many years (until approximately 2012) and included sexual intercourse and oral sex. Dr. Tadros would often call Patient C and ask her to come to the office, where they would have sexual intercourse and oral sex in Dr. Tadros’ back room or rehabilitation room. On occasion, after they had sexual intercourse, Dr. Tadros would inject Patient C with botox. She did not pay him money for these injections.

Contravened Terms, Conditions and Limitations on Certificate of Registration
On July 15, 2014, the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (“ICRC”) of the College made an order under s.37 of the Health Professions Procedural Code and directed the Registrar to impose terms, conditions and limitations on Dr. Tadros’ certificate of registration, including that Dr. Tadros shall not engage in any professional encounter or interaction with any female person, except in the presence of a monitor.

Dr. Tadros failed to comply with the terms of the s.37 Order by, among other things, repeatedly having professional encounters and interactions with female patients without a monitor, failing to comply with the requirements of the Order regarding posting a sign, failing to maintain a log and failing to submit to and not interfere with unannounced inspections of his office and practice by the College for the purposes of monitoring and enforcing his compliance with the terms of the s.37 Order.

As a result of information received by the ICRC regarding Dr. Tadros’ breach of the s.37 Order, on September 16, 2014, the ICRC varied the terms of the s.37 Order. One of the conditions was that Dr. Tadros shall not engage in any professional encounter or interaction with any female person.

Dr. Tadros breached the terms of the s.37 Order, varied on September 16, 2014, by continuing to have professional encounters and interactions with multiple female patients. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, Dr. Tadros performing botox/filler injections on multiple female patients at a medical spa when he was prohibited from treating female patients. Dr. Tadros never advised the owners of that medical spa of the terms of s.37 Order made July 15, 2014 or the terms of the s.37 Order as varied on September 16, 2014, nor did he ever post a sign at this practice location.

On November 7, 2014, as a result of information received by the ICRC regarding Dr. Tadros’ breach of the s. 37 Order of September 16, 2014, the ICRC further varied the terms of the s. 37 Order, directing the Registrar to suspend Dr. Tadros’ certificate of registration effective 12:01 a.m. November 8, 2014.

On May 6, 2015, the Discipline Committee ordered and directed that:
• the Registrar revoke Dr. Tadros’ certificate of registration effective immediately.
• Dr. Tadros appear before the panel to be reprimanded.
• Dr. Tadros reimburse the College for funding provided to patients under the program required under section 85.7 of the Code, by posting an irrevocable letter of credit or other security acceptable to the College, by June 30, 2015, in the amount of $48,100.
• Dr. Tadros pay costs to the College in the amount of $31,510.00, by June 30, 2015.
