Almost everything on social media is fake, including the medical credentials of TikTok’s “dancing doctor,” according to reports.
Dr. Windell Boutte had amassed a following on TikTok, posting videos of her and other medical center staff dancing while treating patients. She previously did cosmetic surgeries in Atlanta under the Boutte name. Her medical license was suspended after a series of patients alleged malpractice.
However, reporters with WSB-TV in Atlanta found the doctor is now going by the name Catherine Davis and has allegedly working in different state.
The Independent has reached out to her new medical facility for comments.
In August of last year, a Fulton County jury cleared an anesthesiologist who had been sued after taking part in one of Boutte's videos. In the video, he was seen singing and dancing during a patient's liposuction operation. The patient sued the anesthesiologist for malpractice.
While the anesthesiologist was cleared, Boutte was not, and was held liable for producing the video, according to the Barley Snyder law firm.
Boutte had to settle more than a dozen medical malpractice lawsuits — including one in which a botched cosmetic surgery left a woman with permanent brain damage — which cost millions and ultimately ended with Texas suspending her license.
After her license was suspended, she changed her name and began working at Eden Med Spa in Austin, Texas, under the Davis name. She was, at one time, listed as an owner of the facility.
Reporters discovered that Catherine Davis is Windell Boutte's middle and maiden names combined. WSB-TV reporters confronted Boutte about her videos and her license.
Davis reportedly laughed it off, calling the spa her "happy place" where she was "kind of like, riding it out."
Since that encounter, the Eden Medical Spa website began to distance itself from Boutte. Now, she's no longer listed as an owner or listed on the website at all.
Earlier this week, the spa sent an email out to its customers explaining the doctor's absence.
“Catherine is having some difficulties outside of Eden and is not currently injecting at Eden," the message said. (The Independent)
