Federal Way chiropractor accused of violating patients with ‘intravaginal massage’

Nov 7, 2012, 5:20 PM | Updated: 7:40 pm

A Federal Way chiropractor has been accused of using his power as a medical professional to sexually violate three different women.

Greg Summers has had his chiropractic license suspended by Department of Health and the Chiropractic Quality Assurance Commission.

According to Donn Moyer with the DOH, Summers faces charges of sexual contact with three female patients and with changing the medical records of a patient.

Summers allegedly recommended “intravaginal massage,” for two of his patients and inserted his fingers in their genitals. He tried to convince these patients that they’d benefit from the “invasion of their personal body space,” according to Moyer.

A third patient filed a complaint against Summers reporting he touched her breasts inappropriately during treatment.

“There is almost nothing that is more wrong than going to a trusted person, like a health care provider and having them do that kind of violation,” said Moyer.

Summers has 20 days to respond to the charges and to ask for a hearing.
