JUST LIKE THE PHARMACIST –
Dec. 14, 2022 – The prescriptions written by Jafari-Hassad had no legitimate medical purpose, according to officials. The doctor would also bill their insurance for a variety of charges, many of which were connected to procedures that never actually happened, authorities said.
“As alleged, the defendant abandoned her medical oath to operate a pill mill in Nassau County, illegally dispensing oxycodone to patients for a cash fee,” stated United States Attorney Breon Peace. “This Office will continue to protect our community from bad actors who flood our streets with dangerous drugs, even if they hide behind their prescription pad.”
An undercover agent was able to get a prescription on every visit over the course of a year with Jafari-Hassad, including the first one. The prescriptions were not for any medical purpose.
