Sept. 28, 2024 – A 78-year-old doctor with a clinic in Taylor is accused of allegedly overprescribing painkillers, and medication, as well as committing insurance fraud. The doctor is now also under scrutiny for possible sexual misconduct with his patients, which may have occurred in a bizarre bedroom at his clinic. Dew was referred to the doctor in 2018 after experiencing an episode similar to a fainting spell. She says he diagnosed her with seizures after one test and prescribed medication.
She immediately began to suffer severe side effects from the medication.
“I felt like I was trapped in my body, and I couldn’t get out,” Dew said.
The medication led to frequent visits to the doctor every couple of weeks for six months.
“I would go and say, ‘I can’t be honest; I’m having a bad reaction to it,’” she said. “And so he’d prescribe me something else. It was like every two weeks he would prescribe me something else.”
As a result, Dew was unable to drive or work.
