The Utah agency that regulates health professionals has taken the first step toward revoking the license of a dentist who is on the sex offender registry.
The dentist, Thomas A. Endicott, has already been suspended in three other states, FOX 13 reported in November . He will have an opportunity to respond to the notice he received from the Utah Division of Professional Licensing, or DOPL.
The notice accuses Endicott of not telling DOPL about a 2018 arrest in Arizona for failing to register as a sex offender. That arrest triggered an investigation at the Arizona Board of Dental Examiners, which Endicott also did not disclose when he went to renew his license in Utah, according to the notice.
The last paragraph of allegations points out an Endicott patient in Arizona died in 2021. Endicott agreed to a temporary suspension of his license in Arizona after the death. Endicott is contesting an effort to suspend him there permanently.
Endicott and his Arizona attorney did not respond to FOX 13 interview requests. Representatives of DOPL declined an interview request.
