The Department of Public Health presented a consent order alleging deficient care and infection‑control and patient‑privacy violations following an unannounced inspection of the respondent’s solo practice.
Attorney Julianne Cataya, representing the Department, told the board the inspection on 08/05/2025 confirmed violations. The proposed consent order would impose a reprimand, require payment of a $10,000 civil penalty (already received by the state), and keep the license suspended until the respondent completes a remedial infection‑control program that must be preapproved by the Department’s monitoring unit.
Cataya said the order also includes a permanent restriction prohibiting the respondent from practicing solo; while on probation for one year the respondent must have a licensed dentist supervising his work, review at least 20% of his files and submit monitoring reports monthly for the first quarter and quarterly thereafter. Beverly, who appeared for the respondent, summarized the terms and said the dean of the Yukon Dental School has discussed possible supplemental training once the commission signs off.
Board members asked questions about program hours and preapproval; Cataya and Beverly said the program will be developed subject to the Department’s preapproval. The transcript records that the respondent graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1973 and that this was the first complaint against him. Board members also learned the office at issue has been closed.
A motion to accept the consent order was made and seconded. One board member stated opposition; an attorney and counsel present indicated no conflict for a previously noted potential conflict, and the board approved the consent order by recorded vote (four ayes, one nay). The chair thanked counsel and wished all a good holiday.
Clarifying note on name spelling: the transcript contains multiple spellings for the respondent’s surname (examples include Czarski, Czeszewski and Sarzastyk). The board’s record and counsel consistently used spellings resembling “Czarski”; this article uses the spelling “Paul Czarski” for consistency while noting the transcript variants.
Next steps: the respondent remains suspended until he provides proof of completion of the preapproved remedial infection‑control program; once the Department receives completion documentation the suspension will be lifted and the probationary requirements will apply.
