A prominent Dallas-based neurologist, Dr. Samir Shah, faces serious allegations of aggravated sexual assault of a child, leading to the suspension of his medical license.
The Texas Medical Board temporarily revoked Shah’s ability to practice medicine on December 5, citing an immediate threat to public welfare. The arrest and subsequent actions by the Board have sent shockwaves through the medical community and raised significant public concern, Fox 4 reported.
Dr. Shah, 48, was arrested on October 28 and booked into Tarrant County Jail. Following his arrest, Shah was released on a $150,000 bond.
The Texas Medical Board’s swift decision to suspend his medical license underscores the gravity of the allegations. While the suspension is currently temporary, the board has stated that its actions aim to protect the public while investigations continue.
Public records reveal that Dr. Shah has been a licensed physician in Texas since 2008 and has spent over 15 years practicing neurology in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. During his career, he has been affiliated with at least three prominent medical centers in the region. His long-standing role in the medical field has left many patients and colleagues shocked by the allegations.
Details surrounding the alleged assault remain unclear. Authorities have not disclosed whether the incident involved Shah’s professional work or occurred in a personal context. The lack of information has fueled speculation and left many questions unanswered as investigators continue their efforts to piece together the circumstances.
The Texas Medical Board’s suspension of Shah’s license is a precautionary measure often implemented in cases where public safety may be at risk. The Board’s findings will determine whether Shah’s suspension remains temporary or transitions into a permanent revocation of his license. Such cases typically involve lengthy legal and procedural evaluations.
