 Action Description for DOH Webpage:This modification permits the physician to surrender their New York State medical license and precludes them from the practice of medicine in New York State. This license surrender serves as a substitute for so much of the remaining penalty to serve, as set forth in the Original Order, and releases the physician from the registration requirement and payment of fees with the New York State Education Department.
 Misconduct Description for DOH Webpage:This order is a modification of the terms and conditions previously imposed under BPMC Order# 23-147 that went into effect on July 17, 2023 and does not constitute a new disciplinary action. The physician did not contest the statement of charges, in full satisfaction of the charges of misconduct, by having been disciplined by the North Carolina Medical Board for failing to maintain thorough and detailed medical record documentation regarding seven patients.
