Months after an administrative investigation was sparked into allegations of a Beaumont doctor inappropriately touching underage girls under the influence of anesthesia, local criminal investigating agencies have no evidence of the alleged crime being reported to law enforcement personnel.

According to the medical review board penning the report sanctioning the doctor to temporarily stop treating female patients, the accusations amount to eight separate reports from hospital staff over a span of eight years.

Dr. Guoxin Wu, according to Texas Medical Board (TMB) records, has been licensed to practice in Texas since 2009, and remains licensed through November 2022. However, amid a 2021 investigation, Wu has relinquished his privileges to practice at Baptist Hospital in Beaumont. Wu still holds privilege to practice at CHRISTUS St. Elizabeth Hospital and Riceland Surgical Hospital, the TMB reports. 

Attached is the hearing findings and law conclusions adopted by the TMB when ordering Wu to no longer treat female patients until further notice. Read more in this week’s Examiner newspaper.
