A Denton-based doctor has been arrested following allegations of inappropriately touching patients during medical appointments. Dr. Ikenna Adugba, who practiced at First Care Medical Center in Denton, is facing four counts of indecent assault after multiple women came forward with accusations spanning from 2022 to 2023.

The investigation began in May when a patient at First Care Medical Center reported that Dr. Adugba had inappropriately touched her during an appointment. Over the course of several months, three additional women came forward with similar allegations, claiming they had experienced inappropriate behavior during their visits with the doctor in 2022 and 2023.

Authorities conducted a thorough investigation into the claims, leading to Dr. Adugba’s arrest. He was charged with four counts of indecent assault and later bonded out of jail. The case has raised concerns about patient safety and the importance of reporting misconduct in medical settings.

First Care Medical Center has not yet released an official statement regarding the allegations or Dr. Adugba’s arrest. However, the incident has sparked conversations about the need for stricter oversight and accountability in healthcare facilities to ensure patient trust and safety.

If you or someone you know has experienced similar misconduct, authorities encourage you to come forward and report it. This case highlights the critical role of patient advocacy and the legal system in addressing and preventing inappropriate behavior in medical environments.
