AUGUSTA, ME – David Breer, M.D., was granted a conditional license to practice medicine by the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine in a Consent Agreement signed December 11, 2012. Dr. Breer was previously disciplined in 2002 for obtaining opiates through inappropriate prescribing practices and has not practiced since that time. Dr. Breer practiced in Lewiston.
In March 2012 Dr. Breer submitted an application requesting the reinstatement of his medical license. Prior to granting the reinstatement, the Board determined that Dr. Breer is currently in a substance abuse monitoring program and was able to pass an examination indicating that his clinical skills are still current. In order to maintain his license, Dr. Breer must remain involved in the monitoring program and must have a Board approved Physician Monitor who will observe him in his practice at least once a week.
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.
