The Texas Medical Board issued a press release which indicated a local doctor, Darey A. Philbrick, M.D. (Lic. No. J6662, Brownwood TX), is one of 187 Doctors in the state that are being disciplined.

On August, 27, 2010, the Board and Darey Allen Philbrick, M.D., entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Philbrick to have his practice monitored by another physician for two years; complete within one year 10 hours of CME in the management of difficult orthopedic procedures, five hours in medical record-keeping and five hours in risk management.

The Order was based upon Dr. Philbrick’s negligence in performing medical services; failure to meet the standard of care; and failure to keep adequate medical records for surgery on a patient’s shoulder, resulting in complications.

Since its June 3-4 board meeting, the Texas Medical Board has taken disciplinary action against 187 licensed physicians across the state.

The actions included 33 violations based on quality of care; eight actions based on unprofessional conduct; 11 actions based on inadequate medical records violations; 14 voluntary surrenders; five revocations/suspensions; one action based on peer review actions; one based on failure to properly supervise or delegate; four actions based on violation of probation or prior order; one action based on a criminal conviction; six actions against physician assistants; one rules violation order; one informed consent violation; one impairment due to alcohol, drugs or a medical condition order; one cease and desist order; four orders based on other state’s actions; three terminations of suspension; and 25 corrective orders. The board issued 74 orders for minor statutory violations.

At its Aug. 25-27 meeting, the board also issued 88 physician licenses.
