More details to this question:
My father's primary care physician (based in Ohio since since he lives in Ohio half of the year) submitted the Florida DMV Medical Reporting form since he possesses a Florida driver's license. Is this taken seriously by the DMV? He is suffering from early dementia and the doctor told him to give up driving yet he refuses to give up his keys. He is 89 years old.

Take the Doctor's report to a local DMV office amd talk to a supervisor.
You should get a quick result.

Yes this can happen. If it is not justified, hire a lawyer and get a doctor to oppose the other doctor.
