DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
REVOCATION
Stogre, Rosemary Ann, M.D., Lic. No. F0771, Houston
On February 10, 2012, the Board entered a Default Order regarding Rosemary Ann Stogre, M.D., revoking her Texas physician license and resolving Formal Complaint No. 503-12-1512 filed against her by the Board at the State Office of Administrative Hearings. The complaint stated that Dr. Stogre continued to prescribe controlled substances after surrendering her DEA and DPS controlled substance prescribing privileges, and that she prescribed controlled substances to a patient without medical need and that patient died as a result of misuse of controlled substances, some of them prescribed by Dr. Stogre. Because Dr. Stogre did not respond in any form to the Formal Complaint, the allegations are deemed true.
