(Iowa Capital Dispatch) – An Iowa dentist with a history of alleged sexual misconduct with multiple patients has agreed to surrender his license. In December, the Iowa Dental Board declared that 65-year-old Dr. Calvin Weber, of Glenwood, posed “an imminent threat to public safety” and suspended his license on an emergency basis. The action came four months after Weber was criminally charged with assaulting a female outside his office. The board accused Weber of improper sexual contact with a patient or making lewd, lascivious or improper remarks or advances to a patient, and with violating Iowa law with regard to the practice of dentistry.

Police records related to the incident show that in July 2023, a woman came to the Glenwood Police Department and complained that she while she was in Weber’s dental office, he made comments on how sexy she was and grabbed her buttocks. As a result of the allegations, police charged Weber with assault, a simple misdemeanor, in August 2023. In December, a judge found Weber guilty of assault and fined him $855. Recently, Weber agreed to surrender his license.

Weber was first licensed by the state in 1983 and has a history of alleged misconduct with female patients. In July 1993, he was charged with unprofessional conduct in the practice of dentistry and accused of inappropriately touching two female patients during their dental appointments. One month after those charges were filed, Weber was accused of misconduct with two additional patients.

The board suspended Weber’s license indefinitely while ordering him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation within 60 days before being considered for reinstatement. Four months later, in April 1994, the board accused Weber of failing to submit to an evaluation and Weber agreed to surrender his license. After surrendering his Iowa license, Weber moved to Florida where he was employed as a golf professional, board records show.

In December 2006, after Weber submitted to an evaluation and agreed to undergo ongoing therapy, the board agreed to reinstate his dental license.
