Previously the Review Board had affirmed the Hearing Committee’s June 19, 2013 determination finding the physician guilty of having been convicted in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York of Conspiracy to Commit Bribery. The Review Board had overturned the Hearing Committee’s penalty of revocation and had suspended the physician’s medical license for two years, the suspension was stayed with probation for five years. Before the Hearing Committee’s Order on November 8, 2012 the physician’s New York State medical license had been summarily suspended by the New York State Commissioner of Health. |
