Guest guest Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 To me, it all depends on WHY they've been in trouble with their state boards. I know that I suspect that some have been written up because they treat according to what they already understand and know, not according to what 10000 other doctors DON'T know. I hate it because state boards have become policemen for "out of the box" thinking, as well as the reasons that these boards were originally created. Me thinks that Big Pharma has had it's strings attached to this, as well as many other things. Re: dr roby Well of the 3 docs in Texas with the first or last name Roby 2 of them have been in board trouble (one in big board trouble). Quote
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 The Texas board is pretty good about making allowance for the practice of alternative medicine. Record keeping and documentation is what usually gets otherwise good docs in trouble. That does not apply to R.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 Jan, I have a hard time putting info out for everyone in case it it misinterpreted, but Dr. Roby ... well, let's just say the guy reinvents himself when he needs to. He is extremely slick, and I know this from personal experience as a very young adult a little over 30 years ago. The last time I looked there were gaps in his practice and I am sure one of them occurred back in the 70's when he left town (San ) rather abruptly after more patients had unfortunate experiences with him like I did. I'm not even sure he was a certified doctor at that time- our family doctor had him sub for him during a leave for further education, and he was so slick with HIM that he did not check his references - he trusted him and felt like his patients would be in really good hands while he was away. I also either read or heard more than once that he had trouble with substance abuse and alcohol. My experience with him was of a gynecological nature as a VERY naive 19 year old, and let's just say he took a few liberties, nothing real major, but I would kick his teeth in from those stirrups if he did the same thing today ... since that was my very first exam of that nature, I had no clue what to expect. My fiancee (at the time) was with me (Roby invited him) and even HE said afterwards "that guy gave me the creeps - I did not like what he was doing at all." This was all SO LONG ago - it looks like he is into something totally different again at this point, and I don't wish to hear or respond to questions/comments from "the group" - it's just too uncomfortable and I do not wish to dredge it all up. I don't care if he is reformed, rehabbed, reinvented, reborn, whatever - I would not go near that slime bucket with a 10-ft pole!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Posted September 18, 2006 The comments about him on the site of the medical board make it clear that he has an assortment of continuing problems. I am surprised he still has his license.
