Hearing Decisions, Media Release | Posted May 9, 2022

Edmonton, AB – A CPSA Hearing Tribunal sanctioned Dr. Michel Prevost, an OB/GYN from Calgary, after he admitted to charges of unprofessional conduct.

Dr. Prevost was accused of failing to maintain appropriate boundaries with a patient, failing to properly assess and treat a patient’s pain and, in violation of conditions on his practice permit, providing Botox injections for therapeutic use and prescribing monitored medications.

  • Dr. Prevost is suspended from practice for six months, with four months to be served and two held in abeyance pending fulfillment of the Tribunal’s remaining orders.
  • Dr. Prevost must have a chaperone present for all patient encounters.
  • Dr. Prevost is responsible for two-thirds of the costs of the investigation and hearing (final amount to be determined).
