Virginia psychiatrist's license suspended on multiple violations

January 24, 2018

The Virginia Board of Medicine suspended psychiatrist Craig Charles Krause based on multiple violations.

Krause is accused of engaging in sexual contact with patients; lewd, offensive behavior toward patients; keeping 3,000 videotapes and 10,000 photographs of patients’ feet; and routinely prescribing large quantities of medications to patients who should not have been receiving the drugs. Many of the patients had a history of abusing or selling drugs, according to the board.

A hearing, not yet set, will be held to address the allegations, according to the board.
