Could be a "TRIGGER" to some. Think this is the right forum. Think it is ok to post the info I found? If not, delete, delete, delete.. Is long, but might be a "good read".

The other night, I was surfing the net and out of the “blue”googled the name of the OB/GYN I had when I was pregnant with AJ. AJ was born 1980...Eyes wide open and jaw almost hitting the floor, I eagerly read the article.. I do believe, after all of these years, I have been validated as to my feelings about this doctor……28 years later and.WOW... Lordy, don’t let lightening strike..I was right!

The first few months under his care seemed to be ok. Although he laughed at me when I asked for prenatal vitamins., saying I didn’t need them. I caught the flu and asked him which over the counter medications I could take and he told me I could take anything I wanted. I knew he was “wrong” and I started to feel “uncomfortable” under his care and trust was fading fast. (I mentioned only a few things at the top of my head as there are many more “minor” things that happened)

I talked to my sister and friends about my concerns. They all pretty much said “it was all in my head” and I was over reacting. They said he is a doctor and knows what he is doing and that I should not worry and it probably was hormones as to why I was so sensitive, nervous. and exhausted.

I even called my old OB/GYN . It turned out this doctor trained under my old OB/GYN. My old OB/GYN said he didn’t always agree with this doctor and he did a lot of things differently, but in the long run, he *should * be ok. Am sure my old OB/GYN contacted this guy, because at my next appointment he said “I hear you don’t like me and you don’t feel comfortable with me”. Being confronted, I was too timid to say anything .. Anyway it looks like my old doc contacted him and was letting him know he was keeping an *eye* on him….?

It would have been so much easier if I had just “changed doctors”. But, being told I as over reacting and it was all in my head,I was determined to fight it. No matter how miserable , nervous and exhausted , I was not going to be a “nut case” and make a scene. Inside I was churning. There was something wrong with this doctor. I felt it.

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I was right. He was a quack…….This is what I found online about the doctor…….He did not do the horrible things to me that he did to other patients. He still did not give me good prenatal care…I deleted his name from the article… I think most of the women in this article are women he performed abortions on. But I am not sure..

. Attempted Arson, Assault (4 incidents), Sexual Abuse (18 incidents), Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct, Destruction of Property, and Death Threats (3 incidents) [Fairfax, Virginia]

(doctor) was jailed and fined for assaulting three female patients during office examinations. He told one patient that she had beautiful breasts, tugged on her navel ring, and described a sexual act he wanted to do involving suspending her from a ceiling fan by the navel ring. He applied a solution to her vagina, causing pain that left her screaming for 15 minutes. Another patient said that he rubbed her genitals, made inappropriate comments, told her to chart her sexual activity, and told her "I speak five different languages, I have practiced in five different countries, I do this for women for their own good." Another patient said that he told her she had beautiful breasts, that if his wife saw them she'd be jealous, told her he liked to perform oral sex on Black women, and "grasped her arms, held them up, and said "I'd like to rent this for the weekend."
A police officer who arrested the doctor, told him "I'll have to stop kissing my patients." He was ordered in 1990 to undergo psychiatric evaluation and treatment in that he "may be physically and/or mentally impaired to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to his patients." The medical board investigated other allegations. At least 18 other female patients claimed that he sexually harassed them in various ways, including kissing them, making inappropriate comments about their appearance, proposing to engage in sexual activity with them, falsely informing them they had herpes, applying solutions to their vaginal areas which caused severe burning and pain, dispensing various medicines out of an unlabeled "ziplock" bag and grabbing their arms as they attempted to leave his office.
One of his female employees gave two weeks notice for resignation, and he "became enraged and attempted to physically prevent her from leaving by grabbing her arm and shoving a sofa in front of the exit." The abortionist made unwelcome calls to another woman's home making sexual comments, repeatedly appeared at hotel where she worked, causing disturbance requiring intervention by security staff. He also defrauded insurance companies by billing them for procedures he did not perform. On April 7, 1994, he assaulted his receptionist, throwing her against a wall and throwing his keys at her.
He was reprimanded by the Virginia Board of Medicine in 1987 after a complaint that he allowed an unlicensed assistant to examine a patient. He received probation on five criminal charges relating to an attempted arson: Attempting to burn a property, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, destroying or injuring the property of another, and open fires generally. He also received probation following charges of assault and battery of a process server on September 3, 1988.
During divorce proceedings, his wife charged him with cruel and abusive treatment. His attorney stated he "suffers from a progressive mental disease and emotional condition which has had a deleterious effect on his social relationships and economic productivity," but the doctor "retracted that claim after Fairfax Circuit Judge Jack B. Stevens ordered a psychiatric examination to confirm it." He also faced criminal charges for making threatening phone calls to his ex-wife.
He was finally ordered to cease the practice of medicine in Virginia May 13, 1994.
