Dr. Blake Henry Donaldson had practiced as an osteopathic physician and surgeon since 1995. The Missouri Supreme Court has upheld the suspension of a Northland physician’s license for having sex with an underage patient. Dr. Blake Henry Donaldson, who operated the Primary Care North clinic in Parkville, had argued he was denied due process when his license was suspended on an emergency basis in December 2017. But in a unanimous decision today, the court found that his suspension was justified under the law. The court’s ruling is significant because Donaldson had challenged the constitutionality of the law allowing the state’s medical disciplinary board to suspend a physician’s license on an emergency basis.
