A Colorado Springs physician, Dr. Matthew Young, is facing new allegations after the Colorado Medical Board released a new order detailing additional concerns it says were reviewed as the disciplinary case continues.

Background

The Board issued a new Order of Summary Suspension on June 23, replacing the summary suspension issued in January. The order provides additional detail about information it says was reviewed before issuing the latest summary suspension.

According to the order, the Board reviewed information indicating that Dr. Young had treated female patients despite an agreement restricting his practice to male patients. The Board concluded that these actions constituted the practice of medicine with female patients and found it had objective and reasonable grounds to believe Young had deliberately and willfully violated the Colorado Medical Practice Act.

Dr. Young had entered into a Stipulation and Final Agency Order in 2015 after engaging in consensual sexual acts with a woman who had been his patient within the preceding six months. As part of that agreement, he was required to complete professional boundaries and ethics courses and serve a five-year term of probation.

Current Status

The Colorado Medical Board’s disciplinary proceedings will continue to determine whether Dr. Young’s medical license should face additional discipline or be revoked. The Board’s June 2026 order also states that between 2018 and 2026, the Board reviewed multiple cases involving concerns including professional boundaries with patients, documentation issues, substandard care, and whether a mental or physical health condition could impair Young’s ability to practice medicine safely.

Dr. Young’s office declined to comment on the Board’s new order, and the Colorado Medical Board said it could not comment further because active Board investigations and disciplinary proceedings are confidential under Colorado law.
