AGP was accused of stalking a patient after accessing her medical records so he could obtain her mobile phone number, a medical tribunal heard.
Dr Chika Mbah, 37, allegedly sent a stream of WhatsApp messages asking the woman out for a date and turned up once outside her home after signing her off work for work-related stress.
The woman repeatedly declined his invitation but father-of-two Mbah, who called himself ‘Dr Sandy’, kept calling her and left messages saying: “How are you stranger? – don’t you remember, it’s me, Dr Sandy?,’ the tribunal heard.
The patient, who was not named and known as Patient A, was grieving at the time Mbah contacted her following the death of her grandparent.
She was said to be so uncomfortable as a result of his advances that she refused to attend his surgery for an urgent check up over a stomach problem.
Mbah was suspended from medical practice for three months after he was found guilty of misconduct when he admitted pursuing an improper relationship with the patient.
But he denied allegations of illicitly accessing her medical records and the panel found no evidence of “any predatory behaviour”.
In a statement read out at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service in Manchester, the woman said: “During many messages, he asked me out for a drink which I did not go to and I received the odd phone call for a chat.
