KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Patients are voicing concerns after state health officials warn that some may need to get tested.
The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs filed a complaint against Dr. Roger Beyer on May 21. Beyer owns Women's Health Care Specialists and Beyer Research.
The complaint alleges his office repeatedly used anorectal manometers that were cleaned inconsistently between patients.
Lissa Edminister says she was treated by Beyer for several years and participated in several studies on migraines and incontinence.
"I was completely shocked and horrified," Edminister said. "Although I didn't use the anal probe, there were questions about the speculums and to do any research study, I was examined twice with a speculum. It makes you wonder 'was that speculum clean?'"
According to Edminister, the office always appeared clean.
On Tuesday, Beyer told 24 Hour News 8 the allegations are a misunderstanding and will be cleared up with the state.
