KAWARTHA LAKES-The College of Physicians and Surgeons is investigating former Bobcaygeon physician Dr. Naseeruddin Syed.
The College says they are investigating Dr. Syed for allegedly failing to maintain the standard of practice of the profession and for incompetence.

The College has imposed conditions on Dr. Syed including that he shall not issue new prescriptions or renew prescriptions for narcotics. He must post a sign notifying patients that he cannot prescribe narcotic drugs, narcotic preparations, controlled drugs, benzodiapines or all other monitored drugs.
He must also provide the college with his irrevocable consent for them to make inquiries with OHIP Narcotic Monitoring System and sign any other consents necessary for the college to obtain information from these institutions. He must obtain a clinical supervisor to review 20 of his files every month and shall submit to unannounced inspections of his office.
A hearing will be held in Toronto on March 5th. If found guilty Syed could face a fine of up to $35,000 and he could have his college membership registration revoked or suspended.
