questions about Dr. SAUCEDA

IMPAIRMENT DUE TO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS

• SAUCEDA, FRANCISCO BASIL, M.D., SAN ANTONIO, TX, Lic. # H8375
  On June 8, 2007, the Board and Dr. Sauceda entered into a 15-year Agreed Order placing Dr. Sauceda on probation and requiring that he abstain from the consumption of prohibited substances; participate in the Board’s drug screening program; obtain treatment from a psychiatrist on at least a monthly basis, with reports from the treating psychiatrist sent to an independent monitoring psychiatrist; attend AA or Caduceus at least five times a week; limit his practice to a group or institutional setting; not supervise PAs or APNs; and enroll in and complete a clinical mini-residency of at least 90 days. The action was based on the lifting of a suspension of Dr. Sauceda’s license that has been in effect since February 17, 2005. The suspension occurred due to Dr. Sauceda’s substance abuse and arrest in December 2004 for cocaine possession and misdemeanor theft.
