two (2) days per week for seven (7) hours and another day per week for six (6) hours for
a total of twenty (20) hours. He stated that he has an associate to cover the rest of the
hours.
Continuing on, Dr. Babics informed the Board members that he had lost his mother
during this time and was thankful that he was sober in order to deal with it. He stated
that had he still been using the Ambien or Xanex he probably would not have handled it
very well. He stated that he is grateful to be sober and practicing and looks forward to it
every day. Dr. Babics commented that he was unsure about lifting the limitations of
only practicing for twenty (20) hours. He stated that he no longer has issues with
anxiety or panic attacks which were initially the cause of his problems.
Mr. Lawrence stated that the Board is in favor of lifting the hourly limitations on his
practice but questioned whether Dr. Babics would be more in favor of limiting his
practice to thirty (30) hours based on his comments.
Dr. Babics stated that he would rather the Board release him from the limitations if
only to allow him to practice during those times when his associate might want to take
vacations.
Motion by Mr. Lawrence, second by Mr. Jones, to fully reinstate the license of
Michael D. Babics, D.D.S. to practice dentistry in the state of Ohio with no

consent agreement with the Board.
Motion carried. Dr. Leffler abstained.
