Jailed doctor cited by medical board after patient complaints
HUBER HEIGHTS - The State Medical Board of Ohio has cited a 48-year-old Huber Heights doctor already in jail on a conspiracy to commit murder charge for alleged “sexual misconduct” with 13 patients in his practice.
Joan Wehrle, an executive with the medical board, said Tuesday, March 16, the citation is the beginning of disciplinary actions the board intends to pursue against Dr. Shafik Ahmad.
“The board alleges that Dr. Ahmad engaged in sexual misconduct with patients, violated provisions of the American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics, violated board rules related to sexual misconduct, and did not conform to minimal standards of care,” Wehrle said.
Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies in October arrested Ahmad on charges related to a murder plot targeting Ahmad’s former wife, Sheriff Phil Plummer said at the time.
Ahmad was arrested in the 100 block of East Spring Valley Road after an informant tipped investigators to the murder conspiracy, Plummer said. Ahmad remains in jail on $3 million bond and no trial date has been set in the case, according to court records.
His former wife was not harmed.
Ahmad can continue to practice medicine pending a personnel hearing, Wehrle said. State medical records show Ahmad operates a family practice at 6750 Brandt Pike in Huber Heights and at 2550 Shiloh Springs in Trotwood.
His offices have been shuttered since his arrest.
Before the alleged murder plot was uncovered, several of Ahmad’s patients lodged complaints, alleging inappropriate sexual comments and touching, according to medical board records.
None of the complaints resulted in Ahmad being criminally charged though he has been sued by at least one person related to allegations and had to pay $30,000 in damages and fees.
