A London doctor who had previously been ordered to stop treating transgender youth has now resigned from practising medicine.

In an online summary of a recent decision, Ontario’s professional body for doctors stated its discipline committee found Dr. James Scott Bradley Martin had committed professional misconduct. It also “found that Dr. Martin is incompetent.”

Subsequently, according to Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons documents, Martin stopped practising medicine. In an agreement, Martin agreed “not to re-apply for registration as a physician” in this province “or any other jurisdiction.”

The professional body describes Martin as an obstetrician-gynecologist who first opened his practice in 1977.

The college was investigating two complaints against Martin, both from 2016, when Martin described his practice as “focused on transgender care and hormone replacement therapy.” The complainants are referred to as Patient A and Patient B.
