MEDICAL BOARD OF CALIFORNIA
September 16, 2005
Medical Board of California
Revokes License of Beverly Hills Physician
SACRAMENTO—The Medical Board of California has revoked the medical license of M. Ibrahim Khan, M.D. of Beverly Hills. The decision became effective September 15, 2005. Medical Board Executive Director David Thornton stated, "The mission of the Medical Board is to protect healthcare consumers. We work diligently to achieve our mission by vigorously enforcing the Medical Practice Act."
Khan was placed on probation by the Medical Board on April 29, 2004 after findings of gross negligence, repeated negligent acts and failure to maintain adequate and accurate medical records [Business & Professions Code sections 2234(b)(c) and 2266] in his care and treatment of four patients. On January 13, 2005 the Board filed a petition to revoke his probation after he failed to comply with its terms, some of which include his failure to: enroll in and complete a medical record keeping course; engage in an educational program course; enroll in and complete an ethics course; submit quarterly declarations stating whether compliance with all the conditions of his probation had been met; and make cost recovery reimbursement payments to the Board.
After the Medical Board filed a Petition to Revoke Probation, Khan failed to file a Notice of Defense and he automatically waived his right to a hearing on the merits of the Petition. His license was revoked by default. In addition to this matter, on March 30, 2005 the Board filed another Accusation against Khan (17-2003-149339) alleging acts of gross negligence, repeated negligent acts, incompetence and poor record keeping. He failed to return a notice of defense on that matter as well.
