A Woodlands area emergency room physician has had his medical license temporarily suspended by the Texas Licensing Board.

Doctor Gregory Gibbons is a licensed emergency room physician. The Texas Medical Board says he practices at the CHI Baylor St. Luke's Hospital in the Woodlands as well as the Emergency Center in Montgomery.

According to the Texas Medical Board, on April 19, Dr. Gibbons acting strangely while working a day shift at Chi St. Luke's Emergency Center in Montgomery.
