Dr. David Lambert of Mississauga has been found guilty of professional misconduct after a hidden camera caught him touching the breast of a private investigator who was posing as a patient.

The investigator was identified only as “Ms. X” in a decision issued by the discipline committee of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
“Dr. Lambert intentionally touched the breast of Ms. X, thus committing sexual abuse of a patient,” said a statement released by the College.
The disciplinary committee also found that the general practitioner committed further misconduct by violating an earlier ban on treating female patients, seeing patients for services not covered by OHIP and for recommending skin care products in which he had a commercial interest.
His medical licence remains suspended, pending a penalty hearing.
The College acknowledged Lambert was “not behaving in a flirtatious or seductive fashion” with the two female investigators during an undercover investigation.
His licence was temporarily revoked in 2002 after he was found guilty of sexually abusing three female patients.
In June 2009, four months before the sting, the College ordered him not to treat women or minors, do procedures not covered by OHIP or try to sell his own cosmetic products to patients. The undercover operation found him guilty of violating all three conditions.
In June, Lambert pleaded guilty to four of the five professional misconduct charges against him, but he had adamantly denied the alleged sexual abuse.
