AUGUSTA, ME – James Iannazzi, M.D.’s medical license was suspended by the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine in a Consent Agreement signed September 11, 2012. In addition, Dr. Iannazzi accepted a reprimand, a fine, and will be on probation for five years once he resumes practice. Dr. Iannazzi practices in Bangor.
Dr. Iannazzi concedes the Board has sufficient evidence from which it could conclude that he engaged in unprofessional conduct by engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a patient. The patient told the Board that there was a physical relationship, including one instance in the office for which the insurance company was billed for medical services. Dr. Iannazzi admitted that he had a “personal intimate relationship” with the patient and acknowledged that he made a “serious error” when he initiated a personal relationship with the patient.
All Board disciplinary actions are reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank, the Health Integrity and Protection Data Bank, and the Federation of State Medical Boards Action Data Bank. These reports are regularly reviewed by every state licensing board in the country.
The Board is made up of 6 physicians and 3 public members appointed by the Governor. Disciplinary actions taken by the Board are available to the public either by telephone at (207) 287-3601, or on the Board's website at www.maine.gov/md.
The Board of Licensure in Medicine is the State of Maine agency charged to protect the health and welfare of the public by verifying the qualifications of physicians to practice, and disciplining physicians for unprofessional conduct and incompetence. Any citizen can request an investigation of a physician or physician assistant by contacting the Board office by telephone at (207) 287-3608, by letter, or by visiting the Board's web site.
