Mark Young, MD, who owned and operated a Glenwood Springs-based ketamine clinic, faces four charges of sexual contact related to a fake medical exam. 

Dr. Young’s medical license has been suspended since April 2023, according to the report, following a complaint that he appeared to be under the influence of a substance while providing a ketamine infusion and engaged in inappropriate touching of a patient. 

The allegation was reviewed in March 2023, and the suspension took effect in April 2023, after Dr. Young failed to comply with a required evaluation.  

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
