A Grand Rapids doctor is now facing a felony after continuing to practice despite a summary suspension order against him, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced. Husam Thamin Abed, M.D., 52, of Sterling Heights, has been charged in Kent County’s 61st District Court with one count of unauthorized practice of a health profession, a four-year felony. Dr. Abed has practiced the specialty of urogynecology out of his clinic in the City of Grand Rapids. With authorization from the Board of Medicine, the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulation (LARA) investigated his practices and filed an administrative complaint against him on May 17, 2022. The administrative complaint alleged negligence, incompetence, and lack of good moral character. Based upon the allegations in the administrative complaint, and in consultation with the Board of Medicine, LARA executed a summary suspension of Dr. Abed’s license to practice medicine on May 23 and it was served the following day. Both LARA and the Attorney General conducted additional investigations into allegations that Dr. Abed treated a patient at his clinic on May 28.
