DEA Registration Revoked for Dentist
Thomas Andr'e Endicott, D.D.S., had his DEA Certificate of Registration No. FE3865029 revoked effective April 28, 2025 because his Utah dental license and Utah controlled-substance license were revoked on February 22, 2024. As a result, he cannot legally possess, prescribe, dispense, or otherwise handle controlled substances under his DEA registration.
Pending Renewal and New Registrations Denied
The DEA also denied any pending applications by Thomas Andr'e Endicott to renew or modify Certificate No. FE3865029 and denied any other pending application for additional registration in Utah, effective April 28, 2025. Those denials prevent him from restoring or adding DEA registration in Utah while the Order stands.
