Case Summary:
This is a 2010 disciplinary case involving a physician who faced multiple serious charges related to patient care and professional conduct. An MD practicing in Brooklyn was charged with seven violations, including gross negligence, negligence on more than one occasion, fraudulent practice, filing a false report, ordering excessive tests and treatment, failure to maintain accurate patient records, and moral unfitness.
Rather than defend against these charges, the physician entered into a consent agreement acknowledging she could not successfully contest any of the allegations. As a result, she voluntarily surrendered her medical license and was assessed a $30,000 fine.
