PILL MILL PRINCESS –
March 2, 2026 – A Bayside woman was sentenced to seven years in prison after operating an “oxycodone pill mill” out of her Great Neck doctor’s office, officials said. She was sentenced after prescribing oxycodone pills without a legitimate medical purpose and fraudulently billing insurance providers for procedures that were never performed.
Judge Brown imposed a fine of $150,000 and ordered Jafari-Hassad to pay $152,765 as restitution, the DOJ said. The Great Neck family practice doctor was convicted at trial in December 2024 of eight counts of prescribing oxycodone pills without a legitimate medical purpose, and she pleaded guilty to health care fraud in April 2025, the DOJ said.
