Bay Area physician faces state discipline over DUI crash
The state medical board is considering disciplinary action against a Tiburon physician who pleaded guilty to intoxicated driving.
Larry Michael Gentilello, 69, was arrested in September 2021 after a collision that injured the driver in another vehicle, according to the medical board’s filing. His blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.20%, or more than twice the legal limit for driving.
Gentilello admitted to a DUI count in July, the board said. A judge placed him on probation for five years, suspended his license for a year and imposed a standard slate of conditions.
About a week later, a judge issued a warrant for Gentilello’s arrest and revoked his conditional sentence after he failed to appear for a court hearing, the medical board said. The warrant remains active.
In February, the medical board filed an accusation alleging unprofessional conduct because of the criminal conviction. The accusation could lead to the revocation or suspension of Gentilello’s medical license.
Gentilello could not be reached for comment on Tuesday. His lawyer for the DUI is no longer on the case.
Gentilello’s medical license was issued in 2012 and is scheduled to expire on Aug. 31.
