Credentials and Locations
Emergency Medicine was the most frequently listed taxonomy, with 2 deactivations. Obstetrics & Gynecology, Urology, Internal Medicine and Family Medicine each appeared once. The remaining records were in Pediatrics and Public Health & General Preventive Medicine. The credential mix is therefore spread across several specialties, with Emergency Medicine the only category appearing more than once.
Boston was the leading city, with 2 records. Cambridge, Holyoke, Lexington and Manchester each had one. The other deactivated records were associated with Salem and Sandwich. The city pattern shows some representation in Boston but no broad concentration across the listed Massachusetts locations.
Registry Context
The update reflects administrative status changes in the federal NPPES registry and does not by itself establish a license action or confirm that a physician has stopped practicing. Taken together, the records describe this week’s Massachusetts physician deactivations by registry classification and location, without determining current workforce availability or patient access.
