Local Doctor Denied Alabama Medical License
Middlestard Kentucky physician Dr Ralph Robinson claims the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners gave no valid reason to deny his license to operate the Birmingham Women’s Medical Clinic. He notes out of state residency cited as a boundary, arguing the denial unfair. The clinic, opened last month with one employee, aims to offer vacuum aspiration abortions and related services, charging about 175 for procedures beyond 12 weeks, with exams and tests also provided. The board declined to comment, and Robinson says an appeal or another Alabama licensed doctor may run the clinic.
