What happens to a case filed against a Nevada licensed chiropractor who willingly surrenders their license?

When a licensed chiropractor in Nevada willingly surrenders their license, it does not automatically close ongoing disciplinary cases against them. The case remains open until it is fully resolved through the appropriate legal or administrative process. This allows for the potential investigation and resolution of any claims or complaints that may have been filed, regardless of the status of the chiropractor's license.

This framework ensures accountability and maintains public protection, as patient care and safety are paramount. The decision to surrender a license may be part of a strategic choice by the chiropractor to avoid further complications, but it does not eliminate the need for the disciplinary process to address any violations or concerns that led to the initial complaint. Therefore, the case will continue until all matters are adequately addressed and concluded.
