Previously on January 10, 2013 the physician’s New York State medical license was summarily suspended by the New York State Commissioner of Health. Later the summary suspension order was superseded on March 18, 2013 by an order where the physician could not practice medicine until the final disposition of the investigation conducted by the Office of Professional Medical Conduct. |
