GLENWOOD, Iowa — The Iowa Dental Board suspended a Glenwood dentist’s license following his conviction for assaulting a patient. 65-year-old Dr. Calvin Weber was charged with improper sexual contact with, or making lewd, lascivious or improper remarks or advances to, a patient. A judge found him guilty, and sentenced Weber to pay an $855 fine and time served.

The Emergency Adjudicative Order prohibits Dr. Weber from practicing dentistry until a hearing is held in his case. The Board called Dr. Weber an “imminent threat to public safety.”

In the 1990s, Weber lost his license to administer anesthesia after three female patients said he inappropriately touched them during their appointments. The board disciplined him for “gross immorality or dishonorable or unprofessional conduct.”

A hearing on his license was tentatively scheduled for January 19th, but upon request, a Continuance was granted until further order of the Board.
