A decision about a Barrie dermatologist who's accused of sexual misconduct could still be months away.

A lengthy disciplinary hearing for Dr. Rod Kunynetz by the College of Physicians and Surgeons wrapped up on July 12, but officials say it could be another three to six months before they render a decision.

Kunynetz has been accused of sexually assaulting patients. He’s also facing criminal charges related to those complaints, but those remain before the courts.

When the college does render a decision, it will be release in the form of a public document.

It will outline punishments or will pave the way for a separate penalty hearing.
