 Action Description for DOH Webpage:This order modifies the original penalty and subjects the physician to a license limitation that precludes the physician from the registration or issuance of any further New York State medical license. The physician is precluded from practicing medicine in New York State and from practicing in any setting where his practice is based solely on his New York State medical license. The physician is also precluded from further reliance upon his New York State medical license to exempt him from the licensure, certification or other requirements set forth in statute or regulation for the practice of any other profession licensed, regulated or certified by New York State Board of Regents, New York State Department of Education, New York State Department of Health or the New York State Department of State. This modification order strikes the condition in the original order requiring the physician to maintain an active registration with the New York State Education Department, Division of Professional Licensing Services to pay all registration fees, as well as the condition that requires the physician to develop, maintain, and/or update a physician profile. All remaining terms and conditions of the original order remain in effect.

The physician asserted he could not successfully defend against at least one of the charges alleging negligence on more than one occasion and failing to maintain accurate patient records.
