Barboursville Doctor's License Remains Suspended

{Charleston, West Virginia}...In August, the West Virginia Board of Osteopathy suspended the medical license of Dr. Philip Fisher in Barboursville. Board members said they found probable cause that Dr. Fisher had engaged in conduct, practices and acts that constitute professional negligence. The Board also issued a statement of charges against Dr. Fisher that included 21 counts. In September, the Board held a hearing on the charges. During that hearing Dr. Fisher testified in his own defense. Earlier this month, the Board held a conference call to review the Hearing Examiner’s report. During the call they decided to not take action after Dr. Fisher’s attorney objected based on an act of law. Friday, the Board voted to continue the suspension. Dr. Fisher’s attorney told the board he was appealing their decision. The Board will conduct another hearing on the appeal. DEA agents and police raided two of Dr. Fisher's offices in Barboursville in December, but no criminal charges have been filed.
