KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A doctor who works in Kansas City, Kansas, had his license temporarily suspended.

Dr. Daniel K. Frye, of the Center for Women’s Health and Wellness, was involved in a “violent altercation,” during which he refused to comply with law enforcement requests to exit a residence, according to the emergency order of suspension issued by the Kansas Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA).

Frye entered a guilty plea in November 2018 to one count of criminal property damage “with a domestic violence designation,” the emergency order stated. In October 2019, Frye was found guilty of battery in an incident that occurred in January of the same year.

Also, in May 2019, it was found that his care and treatment of a patient “demonstrated conduct or practice that, if continued, will reasonably be expected to constitute the inability to practice the healing arts with reasonable skill and safety.” He was ordered to pay a fine of nearly $3,000, complete records-keeping and ethics courses and pay for the cost of proceedings, according to a KSBHA final order document.

His license had previously been canceled for failure to renew. KSHBA documents state that at that time, in August 2008, Frye was being investigated for criminal convictions.

He earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine and completed his general obstetrics and gynecology residency at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine.
