A Calgary doctor is facing charges after allegedly sexually assaulting four patients.

Police say all four victims came forward independently in 2023 to report their assaults.

All four are believed to have attended the Brentwood Medical Clinic, located at 810 3630 Brentwood Rd. N.W., between 2016 and 2020.

Phu Truong Vu, 46, is charged with four counts of sexual assault.

Police say he was working as a general practitioner at the clinic at the time.

“Each victim reported they were sexually assaulted in an examination room when the doctor performed non-consensual sexual acts during their medical examinations,” said police in a Tuesday news release.

Vu is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 3.
