Dr. Weizing Guo’s medical license is in jeopardy after he allegedly had sex with a patient in Madison. At the time, Guo practiced anesthesiology at his pain management practices both at Madison and Cross Lanes. Guo admitted to a sexual “event” with a patient in Madison, during a hearing earlier this year.

The West Virginia State Board of Medicine is actively investigating the doctor and revoked his license to practice medicine in the state of West Virginia this past month after allegations surfaced of unethical and unprofessional conduct.

The state board then turned around and granted a stay that will allow Guo to practice as an anesthesiologist under several conditions, according to initial reports.

Other allegations against Guo indicate the doctor was in the habit of inappropriately prescribing drugs

One condition stipulated by the board of medicine is that Guo can no longer prescribe controlled substances until Sept. 2010. This decision came on the heels of a 2008 complaint received by the board alleging that Dr. Guo was inappropriately prescribing drugs.

The medical board indicated that Guo’s license can be permanently revoked if other misconduct is discovered. The medical board referred to the alleged actions as "dishonorable" and “unethical.”

The Coal Valley News was unable to reach Dr. Guo for comment.
