Doctor Faces Iowa Board Over DUI and Relapse
13 Dec
Summary
- Physician faces Iowa Board of Medicine charges for alleged violations.
- Charges stem from a DUI arrest and subsequent issues with a health program.
- Doctor provides telehealth services and is licensed in 21 states.
The Iowa Board of Medicine is investigating Dr. Todd M. Raleigh, a clinical neurophysiologist, due to alleged violations of medical practice rules and failure to report disciplinary actions in another state. Dr. Raleigh, who resides in Washington state but offers telehealth services, is licensed in 21 states and affiliated with numerous hospitals nationwide.
Recent records from the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure detail a settlement agreement finalized in September 2024. This stemmed from Dr. Raleigh's May 2023 arrest in Bellingham, Washington, for driving under the influence, involving a high-speed flight from an accident scene. He reportedly refused an evaluation and experienced a relapse after enrolling in treatment programs.
Further allegations suggest Dr. Raleigh failed to comply with a Kentucky board order for an evaluation, citing a condition that could impede his medical competence. To prevent an emergency license suspension, he accepted a settlement that limits his practice, prohibits telehealth without a monitor, and mandates periodic drug and alcohol testing.
