A Settlement, Waiver and Consent Agreement was approved and accepted by the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners (Board),

he engaged in conduct that is grounds for discipline pursuant to the Medical Practice Act (NRS Chapter 630): to wit, his acceptance of payment from an intermediary in 2003 which exceeded the non-surgical work product performed and his untruthful testimony in a civil matter in that same year was a violation of NRS 630.301(9), engaging in conduct that brings the medical profession into disrepute; that
his license shall be suspended, with that suspension stayed, and he be placed on probation for 36 months with the following terms and conditions: (1) that
