What we know:
DALLAS—While authorities gather additional information, a Dallas neurologist who was accused with aggravated sexual abuse of a minor has temporarily lost his Texas medical license.
On October 28, Dr. Samir Shah, 48, was taken into custody and lodged into the Tarrant County Jail. According to public records, he was freed after posting a $150,000 bond.
Shah’s continued practice was deemed to be a hazard to public welfare by the Texas Medical Board. On December 5, his medical license was immediately suspended.
The inquiry is still under progress.
Who is Dr. Samir Shah?
FOX 4 was able to collect public records that show Shah has been actively practicing medicine in Texas for 15 years, having obtained his medical license in 2008.
At least three medical facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth region have employed him.
His lawyers sent FOX 4 the following statement:
“Falsifying a claim of sexual abuse is the easiest approach to obtain an edge in a contentious custody dispute. In family courts, it is the weapon of mass destruction, and sadly, it is used with ease every day all throughout the nation. Other than the fact that Dr. Samir Shah is a loving father who has always put his daughters’ welfare first, there is no solid evidence to support any other conclusion. Additionally, Dr. Shah took and passed a demanding polygraph test administered by the top polygrapher in this region of the nation. I have no doubt that the evidence will ultimately demonstrate that Dr. Shah is the lone victim in this case.
What we don’t know:
No information on the sexual assault case, including whether the claimed incident took place at work or at home, was disclosed by the medical board.
It’s unknown if Shah’s license will be permanently revoked by the board or if his suspension will only last temporarily.
