The Medical Quality Assurance Commission and Department of Health has revoked Olympia physician Sarah S. Reade's license after she was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol in December.

According to a news release from the health department:

The commission suspended Reade’s license in January, and her “subsequent behavior raised concerns about her ability to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety due to a mental condition,” the release states. The commission revoked her license March 5.

The commission also placed Reade’s license on probation in 2005 for alcohol misuse and making false statements to a department investigator about having controlled substances without a valid prescription.
