San Jose Doctor Busted for Opioid Prescription Scheme

THEIR STILL AT IT –

Aug. 11, 2023 – When a bad actor exploits their position for personal gain, they not only shatter our trust, they harm vulnerable patients,” Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a news release Friday. 

Padidar’s alleged activity was uncovered when an employee who had helped with the scheme came forward a month or two after being fired by the doctor in 2019, according to a criminal complaint filed with Santa Clara County Superior Court. The charges against him include obtaining opioids by fraud, issuing prescriptions without a legitimate medical purpose, forging and issuing a prescription, unlawful use of personal information and conspiracy to commit a crime.
