On January 18, 2024, a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board temporarily restricted, with notice, the Texas medical license of Alejandro Felix Marquis, M.D., (Lic. No. K1248) after determining his continuation in the unrestricted practice of medicine poses a continuing threat to public welfare. The restriction was effective immediately.
Dr. Marquis shall not possess, administer, distribute, or prescribe controlled substances in Texas; shall not use his Texas license in any jurisdiction to diagnose, treat, or prescribe dangerous drugs or controlled substances in Texas for chronic or post-surgical, post-procedure, persistent non-chronic pain as defined in Board rules or engage in the practice of pain management in Texas; and shall not be permitted to supervise or delegate prescriptive authority to a physician assistant or advanced practice nurse or supervise a surgical assistant.
The Board panel found that Dr. Marquis nontherapeutically prescribed high volumes of controlled substances to 15 chronic pain patients.
The temporary restriction remains in place until the Board takes further action.
