OLYMPIA ¾ The Department of Health has immediately suspended the license of Sunnyside physician Muhammad Ayub (MD00044810) on allegations of sexual contact with a patient. This immediate disciplinary action, called a summary suspension, means Ayub cannot practice medicine pending the outcome of a hearing.
According to the statement of charges, Ayub inappropriately touched and made inappropriate comments to a female patient during an appointment. The charges also allege Ayub called the patient several times at home and asked the patient to attend a sexual therapy session. At that session, Ayub had sexual contact with the patient.
Ayub has 20 days to respond to the charges and must respond in 10 days to request a prompt hearing. The statement of charges and summary suspension order are available on Provider Credential Search (https://fortress.wa.gov/doh/hpqa1/Application/Credential_Search/profile.asp) or by calling 360-236-4700.
