Psychiatrist Metodia Joy Webster Reprimanded by Illinois and Missouri Medical Boards

March 6, 2019

On January 22, 2019, the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts reprimanded Jerseyville psychiatrist Metodia J. Webster (who is known professionally as Joy Webster).

The Missouri Board action is a reciprocation of disciplinary action taken against Dr. Webster by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) in January 2018.

The reason for both states’ disciplinary actions was, according to the IDFPR’s monthly disciplinary newsletter, that Dr. Webster “allegedly accessed and edited medical documentation to favor her position in litigation.”

Fact: Thirty percent of convictions of psychiatrists and psychologists are for fraud.
