Case No. 11-5972-1

The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners summarily suspended the license of Karen Arcotta, M.D., to practice medicine in the state of Nevada, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute Section 630.326(1). The Committee believes that due to due to the findings of the recent psychiatric evaluation indicating that Dr. Arcotta is not currently able to safely practice medicine, that the health, safety and welfare of the public is at imminent risk of harm and that a summary suspension of Dr. Arcotta's license to practice medicine is necessary to remove said risk of imminent harm to the health, safety and welfare of the public.
