Charlie Teo speaks out against allegations of medical misconduct

Dr Charlie Teo has spoken out against allegations of medical misconduct in an interview for Channel 7’s Spotlight program. Mr Teo has said he will be leaving the country to continue his profession after a professional standards committee found his operations had ‘disastrous’ outcomes and placed restrictions on his registration. The committee had found Mr Teo had failed to outline the real risks of his surgeries, which were described as ‘experimental’ and was found to have behaved unethically in not obtaining informed consent from his patients before surgery. Mr Teo will move to China to continue practising, as well as other areas of Southeast Asia.
