A chiropractor who saw patients in Hanover and Henrico counties can no longer practice after the Virginia Board of Medicine suspended his license following allegations of sexual contact with multiple patients.
Schuyler Matthew Whelan's license was suspended on June 26 after board members concluded he posed "a substantial danger to public health or safety."
An investigation by the Virginia Department of Health Professions found Whelan engaged in sexual contact with three patients while providing chiropractic treatment.
The board found Whelan "unfit and unable to practice" due to substance abuse and illness, determining he represents a danger to his patients and the public.
Whelan's therapist told investigators he needs strict monitoring for bipolar disorder and sex addiction. They stated that without treatment or monitoring, Whelan could pose a danger to his patients if he started to exhibit hypersexual behavior.
