A physician in Madison, Indiana, Dr. A. Michael Guirguis, has had his medical license suspended following allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse during patient examinations. The suspension, issued after a formal hearing, stems from accusations of inappropriate behavior and the unnecessary prolongation of sensitive medical exams involving male patients. This case highlights the critical require for patient safety and ethical conduct within the healthcare system, and underscores the courage of individuals coming forward with difficult experiences.
Dr. Guirguis formerly practiced with Norton King’s Daughters’ Health and Community Medical Associates. The Indiana Attorney General’s Office filed a petition on February 12, 2026, detailing the allegations, which led to his termination from Norton in December 2025 for “grossly unprofessional conduct,” according to court records. The accusations include instances of watching a patient ejaculate during a semen sample collection, inappropriately grabbing patients’ genitals during exams, making inappropriate comments, and performing examinations without wearing gloves.
Allegations Detail Pattern of Misconduct
The complaints against Dr. Guirguis center around a pattern of alleged misconduct during sensitive medical examinations. Patients have described instances of exams being unnecessarily prolonged, accompanied by unwanted comments, and conducted without proper protective measures like gloves. These allegations raise serious concerns about the boundaries of professional conduct and the potential for abuse of power within a healthcare setting. The specific nature of the accusations, as outlined in the petition, points to a deliberate disregard for patient dignity and well-being.
Darryl Isaacs, founder of Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury lawyers, who represent several of the patients, emphasized the significance of the license suspension. “The suspension of this medical license validates the courage of the men who have already stepped forward to share their experiences,” Isaacs said. “While What we have is a significant legal milestone, our focus remains steadfast on those who were harmed. We are dedicated to ensuring that those whose privacy and dignity were violated have a powerful voice and a clear path toward justice.” Isaacs & Isaacs is actively encouraging anyone else who may have experienced similar misconduct with Dr. Guirguis to come forward, providing contact information at 812-286-8203 and a website for more information: https://wewin.com/lp-sexual-abuse/.
Norton King’s Daughters’ Health Responds
Norton King’s Daughters’ Health terminated Dr. Guirguis’ employment in December 2025 following an internal investigation into allegations of unprofessional conduct. While the health system has not released detailed information about its investigation, the termination preceded the formal petition filed with the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and the subsequent suspension of his medical license. The health system has not yet issued a public statement regarding the license suspension itself.
Legal Process and Patient Support
The suspension of Dr. Guirguis’ license is an interim measure while the Indiana Medical Board conducts a full investigation into the allegations. A formal hearing will likely be scheduled to determine whether further disciplinary action, including permanent revocation of his license, is warranted. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to emerge as the process unfolds.
For individuals who believe they may have been harmed by Dr. Guirguis’ alleged misconduct, legal and emotional support resources are available. Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury lawyers are offering legal counsel, and various organizations provide support services for survivors of sexual abuse. The firm’s statement underscores the importance of prioritizing the well-being of those affected and ensuring they have access to justice and healing.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of maintaining ethical standards and patient safety within the medical profession. The allegations against Dr. Guirguis, if substantiated, represent a serious breach of trust and a violation of the fundamental principles of medical care. The outcome of the ongoing investigation will have significant implications for both Dr. Guirguis and the patients who have come forward with their experiences.
The Indiana Medical Board is expected to announce a date for a full hearing on the allegations in the coming weeks. Updates on the case will be available through the Indiana Attorney General’s Office and the Indiana Medical Board website.
