On February 18, 2011, a disciplinary panel of the Board temporarily suspended, without notice, the medical license of Annie Christine Z. Walker, M.D., of Forney, after determining that Dr. Walker’s continuation in the practice of medicine constitutes a continuing threat to the public welfare.
The panel found that Dr. Walker inappropriately prescribed controlled substances to seven patients including one who died from an overdose January 1, 2011. Dr. Walker acknowledged that she had no medical records for any of the seven patients.

In addition, Dr. Walker admitted prescribing to her daughter, son-in-law and grandson, and kept no medical records for these patients.
Dr. Walker is 88 and unable to walk unassisted. She saw all patients in her home, where she kept prescription pads unsecured and charged patients $20 per prescription given. She'll have an opportunity for a hearing, with notice, in at least 10 days.
