2/06/2001
The Investigative Committee of the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners filed a formal complaint against Dr. Tonkens alleging that he administered, dispensed or prescribed any controlled substance by a licensee to or for himself or to others except as authorized by law, and that a physician shall not prescribe, administer or dispense a controlled substance for himself, spouse, or children except in cases of emergency.

The Board accepted and approved the Stipulation for Settlement of its complaint against Ross Tonkens, M.D. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Board entered an order finding that Dr. Tonkens prescribed a schedule II controlled substance to his wife on three non-emergency occasions in 1999 and 2000, a violation of NRS 630.306(3). The Board ordered that Dr. Tonkens receive a public letter of reprimand and that he reimburse the Board’s costs and expenses incurred in the investigation and prosecution of the case against him, payable within 60 days of acceptance, adoption and approval of the Settlement Agreement by the Board.
