INDIANA – The Indiana Medical Licensing Board has summarily suspended, effective immediately, the medical license of Dr. A. Michael Guirguis for 90 days after Attorney General Todd Rokita’s office petitioned for the emergency action, citing allegations that the former southern Indiana physician sexually abused multiple male patients during genital and prostate exams.
Dr. Guirguis, who practiced with Norton Healthcare from 2008 until his termination in December 2025 for “grossly unprofessional conduct,” faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse during patient examinations. These include:
- Observing a patient ejaculate to provide a semen sample
- Grabbing a patient’s penis during a prostate exam and tugging and rubbing other patients’ genitals
- Conducting prolonged genital examinations lasting approximately 10 minutes
- Using more than one finger during rectal and prostate exams
- Failing to warn patients before digital rectal insertion
- Performing genital and prostate exams without gloves
“These allegations are deeply disturbing and represent an egregious, unconscionable betrayal of the sacred trust Hoosiers place in their medical professionals,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “No patient should ever fear abuse or exploitation when seeking care—especially during the most vulnerable and sensitive examinations. My office will never tolerate such violations of dignity and safety. We acted decisively to secure this emergency suspension, and we will continue pursuing full accountability to protect every Hoosier and restore confidence in our healthcare system.”
The allegations brought forward by courageous patients underscore the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable individuals from abuse under the guise of medical care. Norton Healthcare’s decision to terminate Dr. Guirguis reflects a shared commitment to patient safety.
“Victims who bravely come forward are the true heroes in these cases—their voices expose wrongdoing and prevent it from happening to others,” said Attorney General Todd Rokita. “We urge anyone with similar experiences to contact my office without fear. Together, we can ensure predators never prey on vulnerable patients again.”
The 90-day summary suspension may be renewed upon findings that the clear and immediate danger to public health and safety persists. This allows the state to continue its investigation and litigate formal charges seeking permanent revocation of Dr. Guirguis’s license.
