Respondent. )

This matter is before the North Carolina Medical Board (“North

Carolina Board”) regarding information provided to the North

Carolina Board concerning Michael Allen Weicker, M.D. (“Dr.

Weicker”). Dr. Weicker makes the following admissions and the

North Carolina Board makes the following findings and conclusions:

STATUTORY AUTHORITY

The North Carolina Board is a body duly organized under the

laws of North Carolina and is the proper party to bring this

proceeding under the authority granted to it in Article 1 of

Chapter 90 of the North Carolina General Statutes and the rules

and regulations promulgated thereto.

FINDINGS OF FACT

Dr. Weicker was first issued a license to practice medicine

by the North Carolina Board on or about February 3, 2016, license

number 2016-00155.

At all times relevant hereto, Dr. Weicker practiced

neurological surgery. Dr. Weicker held a temporary license to

practice medicine in the State of Maine from November 14, 2016,

through May 14, 2017.

In December 2017, the North Carolina Board was notified by

the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine (“Maine Board”) that they

were investigating Dr. Weicker’s medical practice in Maine.

On March 12, 2019, Dr. Weicker entered into a Consent

Agreement (“Maine Agreement”) with the Maine Board that resolved

the Maine Board investigation. In relevant part, the Maine

Agreement imposed a reprimand on Dr. Weicker’s Maine medical

license and required that he take continuing medical education on

medical record keeping. The Maine Agreement also required Dr.

Weicker to undergo a neurological examination prior to submitting

an application to reinstate his Maine medical license. The Maine

Agreement is attached to this Consent Order as Exhibit A.

CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

Dr. Weicker acknowledges that the Maine Agreement constitutes

his license to practice medicine being restricted or acted against

by the licensing authority of any jurisdiction within the meaning

of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-14(a)(13) and grounds exist under that

section of the North Carolina General Statutes for the North

Carolina Board to annul, suspend, revoke or limit Dr. Weicker’s

North Carolina license to practice medicine or to deny any

application he might make in the future or have pending for a

license to practice medicine.

any judicial review or appeal in this case.

Dr. Weicker acknowledges that he has read and understands

this Consent Order and enters into it voluntarily.

public interest to resolve this case as set forth below.

necessary to verify compliance with the terms and conditions of

this Consent Order.

5. If Dr. Weicker fails to comply with any of the terms of

this Consent Order, that failure shall constitute unprofessional

conduct within the meaning of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-14(a)(6) and

shall be grounds, after any required notice and hearing, for the

North Carolina Board to annul, suspend or revoke his license to

practice medicine and to deny any application he might make in the

future or then have pending for a license to practice medicine.

6. This Consent Order shall take effect immediately upon

its execution by both Dr. Weicker and the North Carolina Board,

otherwise by the North Carolina Board.

or rule that this Consent Order be served on him.

Board, this Consent Order shall become a public record within the

meaning of Chapter 132 of the North Carolina General Statutes and

shall be subject to public inspection and dissemination pursuant

to the provisions thereof. Additionally, it will be reported to
