Texas Medical Board suspends urologist Dr. Nathan Starke over cocaine use and past misconduct.
The Texas Medical Board has temporarily suspended Dr. Nathan Robert Starke, a Houston urologist, after he tested positive for cocaine and was accused of performing surgeries while impaired in 2024. This suspension comes after previous incidents of impairment and misconduct, including a drunk driving conviction in 2017 and an assault charge in 2023. The board deems his continued practice a threat to public welfare. A hearing will be held within 10 days to determine the next steps.
