An Edmond doctor who was arrested on four complaints of sexual battery agreed Thursday to never practice medicine again in Oklahoma.
The doctor, Medhat S.F. Michael, was not present at Thursday’s state Medical Board meeting in Oklahoma City, when investigators announced Michael had agreed to relinquish his medical license and never reapply for that license in Oklahoma.
In late November 2011, Michael, 55, was arrested after six women claimed to police he had sexually assaulted and harassed them while they worked at his clinic.
He was released on $40,000 bail.
Both employees and former employees accused Michael of making inappropriate comments and kissing and touching them while working at the Best Care Medical Center, 1265 E 33rd Street.
Michael’s criminal case is pending in Oklahoma County District Court, with a jury trial scheduled March 24, court records show.
Medical board records show that 10 of Michael’s female patients and seven of his employees told board investigators that Michael had touched them, attempted to kiss them and said sexually explicit things to them while at his clinic, according to the board’s complaint.
