DES MOINES, Iowa ( IOWA CAPITAL DISPATCH ) - A pediatric neurologist who has accused the Iowa Board of Medicine of metaphorically holding a knife to his throat as part of a campaign to “get him, no matter what,” is pursuing legal action against the licensing board.

Dr. Hamza Alsayouf, a child neurologist and epileptologist who once worked as a pediatric neurologist at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, first took the board to court last year in an effort to gain access to its confidential, investigative records.

Alsayouf claimed that in February 2024, he received an “investigative inquiry” from the board notifying him that it was conducting an investigation based on allegations that he had been convicted, in absentia, of some sort of a crime by a court in Dubai.
