LAKEWAY — (KXAN) A state judge denied a request from the Texas Medical Board to sanction a former Lakeway neurologist, saying there is not sufficient evidence to suggest he engaged in inappropriate behavior with female patients.
The judge’s proposal for decision, issued Friday by the State Office of Administrative Hearings cleared Dr. Robert Wayne Van Boven, a former doctor at Lakeway Regional Medical Center, of any wrongdoing following allegations of inappropriate conduct in 2014 and 2015. The board declined to comment Monday, saying the case is still pending.
The Texas Medical Board sought to sanction Boven, alleging he violated medical doctor standards. Administrative Law Judge Hunter Burkhalter’s proposal for decision was in the doctor’s favor. In that decision, Burkhalter wrote that the board failed to prove any wrongdoing.
