The Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) has summarily suspended the dental license of Shelley Ann Wilson, D.D.S., based on her felony conviction in the Second Judicial Circuit Court of Berrien County.

On July 22, 2005,Wilson was convicted of Health Care Fraud-False Claim. Wilson was sentenced to 30 days in jail and placed on probation for period of five years. Additionally, Wilson was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and pay restitution in the amount of $56, 747. Wilson failed to notify MDCH of her felony conviction as required by the Public Health Code.

On November 7, 2005, MDCH issued an order immediately suspending Wilson’s license pursuant to the Public Health Code, which provides for the mandatory summary suspension of a health professional’s license upon the conviction of a felony. An administrative hearing will be scheduled to address the status of Wilson’s dental license.
