Representing victims of medical malpractice across Ontario

On October 6, 2023, the Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal (OPSDT) of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) found that Dr. Mark Raymond Trozzi, a physician from northern Ontario, had made misleading, incorrect or inflammatory statements about vaccinations, treatments and public health measures for COVID-19 in social media postings on his website and in interviews.

On July 14, 2023, the Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal (“OPSDT”) revoked the medical license of Dr. Patrick Brian Philips for statements made online about the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Philips was a family and emergency medicine doctor who practiced in Northern Ontario. This decision comes a week after another physician, Dr. Crystal Luchiw, was ordered to be disciplined by the OPSDT for failing to cooperate in an investigation into her COVID-19 vaccine exemption practice.

On July 6, 2023, the Ontario Physicians and Surgeons Discipline Tribunal (“OPSDT”) determined that Dr. Crystal Luchkiw, a family physician from the Barrie area, had engaged in disgraceful, dishonorable or unprofessional conduct for refusing to co-operate with the investigations of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (the “College”) into her practice of exempting patients from the COVID-19 vaccine.
