California psychiatrist on leave during investigation

April 26, 2018

California psychiatrist Adam Travis had his license restricted last Friday, barring him from treating female patients without a "female third party chaperone present," according to documents from the California Medical Board.

The company he started working at last year has placed him administrative leave and will conduct an investigation.

The California Medical Board has not yet revealed the exact nature of the allegations against Dr. Travis or when and where they allegedly occurred.

The state board says they issued the temporary restrictions in order to protect the public while they wrap up their investigation and prepare to file an accusation. They have 30 days to do that before the restrictions would be lifted but say they fully intend to meet that deadline.
