At it's December 5, 1998 meeting, the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners took formal disciplinary action against three of its licensed medical doctors.
At its December meeting, the board accepted the voluntary surrender of Bryan J. Goodman, M.D.'s license to practice medicine while Dr. Goodman was under investigation by the board.
In June of 1998, the Investigative Committee of the board filed a complaint against Vidal Cruz Limpin, M.D., charging him with one count of violation of NRS 630.301(3), the suspension of his license to practice medicine in the state of Illinois, and one count of violation of NRS 630.306(11), failure to report the suspension of his Illinois license. At its December meeting, the board accepted a Stipulation for Settlement of the matter in which Dr. Limpin pled guilty to both counts of the complaint. The board ordered that Dr. Limpin receive a public reprimand, perform ten hours of community service at a location to be approved by the board within three months of the date of the board's order, and pay $500.00 within thirty days of the board's order as and for all administrative expenses incurred in the investigation and hearing preparation process.
In October of 1998, the Investigative Committee of the board filed a complaint against David Bennett Cohen, M.D., charging him with one count of violation of NRS 630.306(5), practicing medicine after his license has been suspended for non-payment of fees, and one count of willful failure to comply with a provision of Chapter 630, specifically NRS 630.400, practicing medicine in the state of Nevada without a license.
