The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) has revoked the license of Ontario physician, Dr. Suman Khulbe after she admitted to sexual misconduct with a patient and formed inappropriate relationships with others. Regulators said she blurred professional boundaries by treating patients as friends, companions, and even business partners.
A CPSO tribunal found that Dr. Khulbe had a sexual relationship with one patient, built close emotional ties with others, and entered into business arrangements with two of them. Evidence also showed she hosted parties at her clinic where alcohol was served and procaine, a local anesthetic, was administered.
One complainant, a fitness trainer who became her patient in 2015, said his vitamin therapy evolved into sexual contact. He alleged Dr. Khulbe kissed him, performed oral sex, and touched him while he was under the influence of procaine.
During testimony, the Ontario physician admitted to the sexual relationship but said it was consensual and personal. She described the process as a “witch hunt” and accused the complainant of exploiting their relationship. She also announced plans to appeal, claiming the hearing omitted key facts and placed heavy financial and emotional burdens on her and her family.
Dr. Khulbe started her career in family medicine in 2001. In 2018, she shifted to holistic practice, focusing on regenerative medicine, peptide therapy, anti-aging treatments, and biohacking. Her website notes that she was among the first doctors in Canada to use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy.
