A Kitchener neurologist had his licence revoked by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s disciplinary committee on Tuesday.
Dr. Jeffrey Scott Sloka, 50, lost his licence after several former patients came forward with allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Two former patients accused him of inappropriate behaviour in August 2017. While awaiting a hearing, which was to take place in April of this year, a third woman came forward.
