Dr. Imafidon Izekor, a Regina-based physician, has been suspended for six months following findings of sexual impropriety and unprofessional behavior. The disciplinary hearing by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan concluded the suspension on December 1, 2025.
Earlier this year, Izekor was found guilty of two counts of engaging in sexual impropriety and failing to maintain professional boundaries during verbal interactions with two female patients, aged 16 and 19. He was also found guilty of disrespectful communication with clinic staff. Izekor practiced at two Northgate Medical Centre locations in Regina.
The disciplinary committee ruled that the suspension could extend beyond six months if Izekor does not complete mandatory training. This includes courses on ethics, professional boundaries, patient communication, and an assessment to determine any ongoing risk to patients. Upon returning to practice, he must have a chaperone present for all appointments with female patients.
The college initially filed seven charges in March 2022, two of which were later withdrawn. After a nine-day hearing in May, Izekor was found guilty of two charges concerning patient interactions.
The college described the misconduct as serious because it involved inappropriate interactions with a minor. Legal counsel emphasized the sexual nature of the comments and their impact on the patients. In contrast, Izekor’s lawyer argued that the misconduct was at the “low end” of the spectrum since it involved only verbal comments and was the doctor’s first professional offence.
Izekor’s lawyer plans to file two appeals challenging both the findings and the penalty, citing concerns about the reliability of evidence. The college is expected to release the written reasons for the disciplinary decision in January 2026.
This case highlights the importance of professional boundaries and ethical conduct in healthcare, particularly when vulnerable patients are involved.
