KENNEWICK – Dr. Scott Owen Davis of Kennewick has been stripped of his license to practice medicine by the Washington Department of Health. He is also charged in Benton County Superior Court with taking indecent liberties as a healthcare provider, which is a felony.

The supporting documents for the suspension cite numerous alleged incidents that include kissing, hugging, and other physical contact with patients, discussing his personal sex life with patients, and prescribing medicine for treating dogs.

Davis primarily treated patients for attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity. The allegations stem from both patients and the parents of patients.

His trial se expected to take place in June. The Washington Department of Health stressed that the doctor in question is Scott Owen Davis, as there are many licensed health professionals named Scott Davis.
