The state Medical Examining Board improperly sanctioned a Madison physician last October after he was accused of fondling female patients, a Dane County judge ruled Tuesday. The board suspended Frank Salvi for 90 days and required him to undergo a mental evaluation and five years of supervision. Four female patients accused Salvi of fondling them, charges Salvi vigorously denied and successfully defended against in a peer review at his then job at UW Hospital. Salvi resigned his post as assistant professor at UW-Madison on June 30, 2007, but his attorney said Salvi is preparing to take a new position in Madison.
