License of pain centers doctor suspended

The state medical commission announced Friday it has suspended the license of a Seattle doctor who runs eight pain-treatment centers in Washington, including Vancouver Pain Centers in east Vancouver.

While the news release noted that the action against Dr. Frank D. Li “impacts eight clinics throughout Washington,” there was no immediate indication whether the Vancouver center would be affected.

Staffers at the clinic in Cascade Park said Friday morning that they hadn’t heard about the disciplinary action until they were contacted by a reporter. The clinic is not closing, and the staff had not been notified Friday morning that it would be closing, said a representative, who declined to give her name.

Julie Graham, a spokeswoman for the Washington Department of Health, said that the disciplinary action was against Li, not the eight-clinic network.
