Sexual misconduct, including sexual harassment of a patient by a chiropractic doctor, is unacceptable to the College of Chiropractors of British Columbia, and all complaints are taken very seriously. During the investigation of complaints and any disciplinary proceedings that follow, the College will strive to be supportive of the complainant’s concerns while remaining fair to the chiropractor.
