CPSA finds Dr. Jeremy Reed guilty of unprofessional conduct

Edmonton, AB – After a recent hearing before a CPSA Hearing Tribunal, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeremy Reed was found guilty of unprofessional conduct for failing to provide CPSA with requested documentation.

In 2022, CPSA’s Complaints Director learned that Dr. Reed was the subject of criminal proceedings in Saskatchewan and initiated a complaint under section 56 of the Health Professions Act. Multiple requests were made by CPSA to Dr. Reed for documentation to confirm the outcome of the criminal investigation and whether the conditional discharge ordered by the Saskatchewan Provincial Court was fulfilled.

Dr. Reed did not provide the requested information and ultimately stopped responding to inquiries and correspondence from CPSA. After considering all the evidence presented, the Hearing Tribunal found the allegations against Dr. Reed were proven and constituted unprofessional conduct. Submissions on sanction will be considered at a later date.

Dr. Reed did not attend the hearing, and his practice permit and registration with CPSA have been inactive since February 2023.
