A Glenwood dentist with a history of alleged sexual misconduct with multiple patients has agreed to surrender his license.
In December, the Iowa Dental Board declared that 65-year-old Dr. Calvin Weber posed “an imminent threat to public safety” and suspended his license on an emergency basis. The action came four months after Weber was criminally charged with assaulting a female outside his office.
The board accused Weber of improper sexual contact with a patient or making lewd, lascivious or improper remarks or advances to a patient, and with violating Iowa law with regard to the practice of dentistry.
Police records related to the incident show that in July 2023, a woman came to the Glenwood Police Department and complained that she while she was in Weber’s dental office, he made comments on how sexy she was and grabbed her buttocks. She reported that he then followed her outside of the building and again grabbed her buttocks, pulling her close to him and telling her, “Keep being sexy.”
As a result of the allegations, police charged Weber with assault, a simple misdemeanor, in August 2023. In December, a judge found Weber guilty of assault and fined him $855. Recently, Weber agreed to surrender his license.
Weber was first licensed by the state in 1983 and has a history of alleged misconduct with female patients.
In July 1993, he was charged with unprofessional conduct in the practice of dentistry and accused of inappropriately touching two female patients – one of whom was 17 years old — during their dental appointments.
One month after those charges were filed, Weber was accused of misconduct with two additional patients. One of the patients alleged she awoke from sedation to find Weber’s hand beneath her blouse, touching her breast while calling her sexy. She said Weber later asked her out and the two had consensual sex at his home. She later described elements of Weber’s anatomy and the layout of his home for investigators.
The board suspended Weber’s license indefinitely while ordering him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation within 60 days before being considered for reinstatement.
Four months later, in April 1994, the board accused Weber of failing to submit to an evaluation and Weber agreed to surrender his license. After surrendering his Iowa license, Weber moved to Florida where he was employed as a golf professional, board records show
In December 2006, after Weber submitted to an evaluation and agreed to undergo ongoing therapy, the board reinstated his license.
Iowa Capital Dispatch could not reach Weber for comment.
