BARULICH, MATTHEW J. III, M.D.
APRIL 1, 2002
The Investigative Committee of the Board filed a formal complaint
against Matthew Barulich, III, M.D., alleging two counts of malpractice and
one count of continual failure to exercise the skill or diligence or use the

for Settlement, Matthew Barulich, III, M.D. pled no contest to one count
of malpractice, and in return the board dismissed the second count of
malpractice and the charge of continual failure to exercise skill or diligence

physicians in good standing practicing in the same specialty or field.
