FINAL DECISION AND ORDER filed September 8, 2010 was affirmed by the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, on February 7, 2011.* Therefore, Dr. Azam’s active suspension became effective on February 7, 2011. As background, this matter was returned to the Board following a three day hearing at the Office of Administrative Law (“OAL”) and the entry of an Initial Decision by A.L.J. Candido on May 7, 2010. Within that decision, ALJ Candido concluded Dr. Azam’s actions of inappropriately touching patient E.Y.’s breast and massaging shoulders without her permission, running his hand under E.Y.’s shirt, and touching her breast constituted in the aggregate repeated acts of negligence and that his actions over two patient visits constituted sexual contact and harassment, which is deemed to constitute gross or repeated malpractice or professional misconduct. The ALJ recommended sanctions including the suspension of Dr. Azam’s license for a one year period, six months active, with the remainder to become a period of probation, a civil monetary penalty of $15,000.00, and the payment of all costs and attorney fees. Upon review by the Board of the exceptions, oral arguments of counsel, and the record in this matter, the Board concluded that cause existed to adopt in their entirety all findings of fact and conclusions of law made by ALJ Candido. The Board determined to modify the recommendations regarding sanctions made by the ALJ and instead ordered Dr. Azam’s license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey be suspended for five years, the first year to be an active suspension and the remainder stayed and served as probation. Dr. Azam is to pay penalty in the amount of $15,000.00 and cost in the amount of $27,263.05, within thirty days of the date of this Order; and prior to reinstatement of his license on probation, Dr. Azam must successfully complete courses in appropriate professional boundaries and in ethics. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 7, 2011

*NOTE: THIS ORDER OF THE BOARD WAS STAYED BY THE SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2010, PENDING FURTHER ORDER. THE COURT HAD ORDERED THE CONTINUED STAY OF THE BOARD’S ORDER AND, AS OF SEPTEMBER 20, 2010, DR. AZAM WAS RESTRICTED TO TREATING MALE PATIENTS ONLY, WITH AN APPROVED PRACTICE MONITOR. DR. AZAM IS NOW ACTIVELY SUSPENDED EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 7, 2011, BASED ON THE SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION’S AFFIRMATION OF THE BOARD’S FINAL DECISION AND ORDER DECIDED FEBRUARY 7, 2011.

CONSENT ORDER OF VOLUNTARY SURRENDER OF LICENSURE filed February 11, 2011. This matter was opened to the Board upon receipt of information that on or about August 2, 2010, the Virginia Board entered a Consent Order which voluntarily and permanently surrendered Dr. Campbell’s medical license. More specifically, the Virginia Board found that on or about February 2, 2010, while waiting to see patients incarcerated at a prison facility via live tele-med computer/video communication connecting Dr. Campbell’s home office to the clinic tele-med examining room at the prison, he was observed by staff exposing his unclothed lower body on camera. The New Jersey Board found that the action taken by the Virginia Board provided grounds for disciplinary action against Dr. Campbell’s New Jersey license based upon the limitations and/or bar to clinical practice set forth in the Virginia Order. The parties wish to resolve this matter without recourse to formal proceedings and accordingly Dr. Campbell now seeks leave to voluntarily surrender his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey. The New Jersey Board ordered and Dr. Campbell agreed to immediately surrender his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey to be deemed a revocation of license with prejudice to reinstatement. Dr. Campbell is to return his original New Jersey license to the Board contemporaneously with the signing of this Order. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 11, 2011.

FINAL CONSENT ORDER filed February 9, 2011. This matter was opened before the Board upon the filing of an Administrative Complaint on March 12, 2008, against Dr. Cobb. This Complaint was predicated on information that Dr. Cobb failed to comply with Board demands. Specifically, Dr. Cobb failed to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation as required by the Board and failed to provide a timely response to a subpoena for patients records. Dr. Cobb filed an Answer to the Complaint on or about April 8, 2008 and the matter was transferred to the Office of Administrative Law (“OAL”). The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued his Initial Decision Granting Summary Decision on December 10, 2010, and concluded that while Dr. Cobb may have initially cooperated with the Board, he subsequently resisted and avoided additional investigation when an administrative error was uncovered. The ALJ ordered Dr. Cobb’s license to practice medicine and surgery suspended for four years and he can not resume the practice of medicine until he fully cooperates with the Board demands to determine his mental, medical and surgical competency. Exceptions were scheduled to be heard by the Board on February 9, 2011. The Board found Dr. Cobb’s conduct constituted grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to N.J.S.A. 45:1-18(e) and (g) and, as such, constituted professional or occupational misconduct and failure to comply with the provisions of an act or regulation administered by the Board. The Board ordered and Dr. Cobb agreed to retire his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey, to be deemed a revocation effective March 11, 2011. Dr. Cobb is to return his original license, current biennial registration, and his original CDS registration to the Board. Dr. Cobb is to pay costs in the amount of $20,418.50.

CONSENT ORDER OF REPRIMAND filed February 9, 2011. This matter was presented to the Board by the Senior Deputy Attorney of New Jersey. On or about June 7, 2006, Dr. Friedlander authorized the filing of a corporate entity, “Electro-Diagnostic Imaging, LLC,” (EDI) with the New Jersey State Department of Treasury, listing herself and Michael Shortell as 50% owners. Mr. Shortell, who does not hold a health care professional license, was also listed as Chief Executive Officer. The entity was incorporated to offer intraoperative monitoring, a medical health care service during surgical procedures. Commencing in or about June 2006 and continuing through approximately January 2010, Dr. Friedlander’s EDI marketed its services to surgeons for provision of intraoperative monitoring during surgical procedures at various locations, including hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers. The Attorney General intended to file an Administrative Complaint alleging various forms of gross and/or repeated negligence, professional misconduct and failure to comply with rules of the Board of Medical Examiners in connection with the marketing, practice, reporting and billing for the IOM services rendered by EDI between 2006 - 2009. Intraoperative Monitoring is a health care service performed by electrophysiological testing administered in the operating room to detect the onset of changes in the functional status of various components of the central and/or peripheral nervous system during a surgical procedure, in order to reduce the risk of neurological injury to structures that may be at risk due to the nature of the surgical procedure. The patient is typically placed under conscious sedation or anesthesia which must be limited to types and depths so as not to impair the monitoring. Dr. Friedlander, having consulted with her attorney acknowledged the unlawful inclusion of an unlicensed person in the original incorporation of EDI; her failure to have adequately supervised the entity’s marketing and professional services, administrative matters including the credentialing of personnel and billing; engaging in repeated acts of negligence, malpractice or incompetence; and violating or failure to comply with the provisions of any act or regulation administered by the Board. Dr. Friedlander does not use intraoperative monitoring in her surgical practice and asserts by way of explanation that she placed undue reliance upon the entity’s Administrative personnel, that EDI has ceased functioning, and the LLC will be dissolved in 2011 promptly upon completion of its legal obligations. The Board ordered and Dr. Friedlander agreed to be reprimanded for the unlawful inclusion of an unlicensed person in the original incorporation of EDI and failure to have adequately supervised the entity’s marketing and professional services, administrative matters including the credentialing of personnel and billing. Dr. Friedlander is to pay penalty in the amount of $20,000.00 and costs in the amount of $6,560.00. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 19, 2011.

CONSENT ORDER OF REVOCATION filed February 10, 2011. This matter was opened to the Board upon information Dr. Krohn aided and abetted Dr. Lickfield an unlicensed practitioner, to practice medicine in New Jersey by allowing him to issue his prescription blanks to his patients. Dr. Krohn also allegedly authorized the billing of Dr. Lickfield’s patients under his identification. On June 8, 2009, Dr. Krohn was issued a Letter of Advice by the Board regarding his business relationship with Dr. Sorge. Specifically, Dr. Krohn was alerted to the pitfalls of permitting the unlicensed practice of medicine when it can be camouflaged by the use of his medical credentials. On February 9, 2010, Dr. Krohn’s medical practice associate, Dr. Lickfield was arrested and charged with the unlicensed practice of medicine. Dr. Lickfield voluntarily surrendered his New Jersey license on June 27, 2001, prior to his incarceration for crimes relating to his illegal possession and distribution of CDS, specifically Oxycodone. Dr. Krohn testified before a Committee of the Board on October 27, 2010, and admitted knowing in September of 2008, that Dr. Lickfield did not have an active license due to his involvement with Oxycodone and that he was incarcerated for over four years in a Federal prison. Dr. Krohn stated he believed Dr. Lickfield was authorized to practice with a supervisor but acknowledge that he did not inquire with the Board as to the status of Dr. Lickfield’s license until February 18, 2010, a week after his arrest. Dr. Krohn confirmed Dr. Lickfield treated patients in his presence since 2008, that he signed prescriptions for Dr. Lickfield’s patients and that Dr. Lickfield’s patients were billed under his identification. Dr. Krohn further stated that he authorized Dr. Lickfield to issue electronic prescriptions with his signature to his patients and when he was not present in the medical office. The Board found Dr. Krohn’s conduct constituted grounds for disciplinary action in that he engaged in the use or employment of dishonesty, fraud, deception or misrepresentation; that he engaged in professional or occupations misconduct; violated the provisions of any act or regulation administered by the Board, specifically the aiding and abetting of the unlicensed practice of medicine; failed to report a practitioner who has demonstrated an impairment, gross incompetence or unprofessional conduct; and that he had an on going duty to demonstrate good moral character. Dr. Krohn neither admits or denies any of the allegations and is desiring to resolve this matter without need for formal disciplinary proceedings, and the Board being satisfied that the need for such proceedings is obviated by the entry of the within Order, ordered and agreed Dr. Krohn’s license to practice medicine and surgery will be surrendered, but deemed a revocation, effective February 9, 2011. Dr. Krohn must cease and desist from the practice of medicine until further Order of the Board. Dr. Krohn is to return his original New Jersey license, current biennial registration, CDS registration to the Board and immediately advise the Drug Enforcement Administration of this Order.

CONSENT ORDER OF SUSPENSION OF LICENSURE filed February 11, 2011. This matter was opened to the Board upon receipt of information that on or about July 20, 2010, the Tennessee Board entered a Consent Order suspending Dr. Mark’s license to practice medicine until further Order of the Board. More specifically, the Tennessee Board found that on or about July 12, 2010, Dr. Mark was indicted for one count of felony murder, one count of perpetration of aggravated child abuse, one count of aggravated child abuse and four counts of child abuse, stemming from the death of her four year old daughter. As a result, the New Jersey Board determined that the Tennessee disciplinary action provided a basis to take disciplinary action against Dr. Mark’s New Jersey license in that her authority to engage in the activity regulated by the Board has been revoked or suspended by any other state, agency or authority. The New Jersey Board ordered and Dr. Mark agreed to her license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey be suspended until such time as she holds an active, unrestricted certificate to practice medicine in Tennessee. In the event Dr. Mark seeks reinstatement of her New Jersey license at any time in the future, she will be required to appear before a Committee of the New Jersey Board to establish that she is fit to practice medicine in New Jersey; provide information concerning the pending criminal matter and any disciplinary actions taken by the Tennessee Board; and demonstrate to the Board’s satisfaction that she holds an active, unrestricted medical license in Tennessee.

CONSENT ORDER GRANTING RESTRICTED LICENSE filed February 25, 2011. This matter was most recently opened to the Board upon receipt of a petition from Dr. O’Connell seeking reinstatement of his license to practice medicine and surgery in New Jersey. Dr. O’Connell signed a Consent Order filed on September 11, 2006, voluntarily surrendering his license to practice medicine and surgery based upon a report from the Professional Assistance Program (“PAP”) that he had relapsed into substance abuse. Pursuant to a Consent Order filed on June 13, 1997, Dr. O’Connell was initially granted a limited license to practice medicine in New Jersey based upon a history of polysubstance abuse. Dr. O’Connell was granted an Order of Unrestricted License on June 4, 2001 and in May 2002 he voluntarily surrendered his license following his admission of diverting Fentanyl and suffering from a relapse into substance abuse. Dr. O’Connell was again granted a limited license pursuant to a Consent Order filed on September 12, 2002 and granted an unrestricted license pursuant to Consent Order filed on May 17, 2004, until his voluntary surrender on September 11, 2006. Dr. O’Connell appeared before the Committee on October 21, 2009, seeking reinstatement of his license, but at that time the Board determined that his petition for reinstatement was premature. On November 17, 2010, Dr. O’Connell appeared pro se before a Committee of the Board accompanied by Dr. Canavan of the PAP and testified about his compliance with the monitoring program established by the PAP, his fitness to return to the practice of medicine and surgery, and his ability to perform invasive cardiology. The PAP submitted a statement in support of reinstatement of Dr. O’Connell license subject to certain conditions. The Board reviewed Dr. O’Connell’s testimony, reports from his psychotherapists, neurologist and the recommendations of the PAP, as well as all relevant documentation submitted. The Board ordered and Dr. O’Connell agreed to his license to practice medicine and surgery be reinstated with restrictions upon fulfillment of all application requirements. Dr. O’Connell can only practice medicine and surgery solely in a hospital or institutional setting and/or a setting pre-approved by the Board; he is to notify the Board in writing the entity or practice where he plans to practice medicine and surgery prior to beginning such practice; he is to be supervised by a supervising physician pre-approved by the Board if he engages in invasive cardiology with said supervisor submitting quarterly reports to the Board; he is to maintain absolute abstinence from all psychoactive substances including alcohol, unless prescribed by a treating physician for a documented medical condition; he is to attend AA and/or NA a minimum of three times per week with proof of attendance to the Medical Director of the PAP; he is to submit to twice weekly random urine monitoring for the first year of his return to practice, with the frequency of the urine monitoring thereafter decreased at the discretion of the Medical Director of the PAP; he is to participate in monthly face to face visits with a representative of the PAP for minimum of one year following his return to practice, thereafter the frequency of the visits may be decreased at the discretion of the Medical Director of the PAP; he is to engage in weekly psychotherapy with his psychotherapist for a minimum of one year upon his return to practice; he is to have the PAP must submit quarterly reports to the Board outlining his participation in his recovery program with immediate notification of a relapse or noncompliance; and in the event Dr. O’Connell seeks an amendment of this Order or an unrestricted license, he must appear before a Committee of the Board if so requested by the Board.

CONSENT ORDER OF MODIFICATION filed February 10, 2011. This matter was reopened to the Board upon the August 24, 2010, petition by the Executive Medical Director of the Professional Assistance Program of New Jersey (“PAP”), on behalf of Dr. Radbill to reduce the frequency of his random urine screens and to increase his practice hours. By way of procedural history, Dr. Radbill was initially permitted to participate in the Alternate Resolution Program (“ARP”) of the PAP. However, he was reported by name to the Board as a result of his non-compliance with his enrollment terms entered on June 17, 2003 and modified on September 18, 2006. Specifically, Dr. Radbill acknowledged that he had used professional samples of Tramadol to self medicate, though he was required to remain abstinent from all psychoactive substances under his agreement with the ARP absent a bona fide prescription. Dr. Radbill subsequently entered a Consent Order with the Board on February 10, 2009. The Board is now satisfied that Dr. Radbill has complied with all terms and conditions imposed upon his practice of medicine by the February 10, 2009 Consent Order. Accordingly, the Board concluded that good cause exists to modify its prior Order. The Board ordered and Dr. Radbill agreed to remain enrolled in the PAP. Dr. Radbill’s previous enrollment in the ARP will continue to be carried forward into his enrollment in PAP with modification; he is to maintain absolute abstinence from all psychoactive substances including alcohol unless prescribed by a treating physician for a documented medical condition; he will have one random weekly urine screen until he has attained two years of documented recovery; he is to meet in person with a clinical representative of PAP; he is to ensure reports from the PAP be made to the Board and the Impairment Review Committee (“IRC”) of the Board on a regular basis; he is to continue to comply with all other recommendations set forth by the PAP; and he will be limited in engaging in the practice of medicine for a maximum of forty hours per calendar week, unless modified by a Board Order.

CONSENT ORDER OF REPRIMAND filed February 10, 2011. This matter was opened to the Board based upon allegations Dr. Ragi had committed two acts of dishonesty in filing a hospital renewal applications and ten acts of boundary violations by inappropriately touching nine female patients of his dermatology practice during medical examinations. All of the alleged impermissible touching took place no later than 2003. Dr. Ragi criminal charges were resolved on July 9, 2008, by way of his entry into the Pre-Trail Intervention (“PTI”) program. Dr. Ragi fulfilled the conditions of the P.T.I. Order, and after the resolution of the criminal charges, an Administrative Complaint was filed with the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners (the “Board”) on October 30, 2008. On December 8, 2008, Dr. Ragi filed his Answer to the Complaint and the Attorney General moved for Summary Decision. The Board heard the Motion for Summary Decision on February 11, 2009, and granted the Motion by a Order and Decision filed on March 9, 2009. The Board imposed a three year suspension of Dr. Ragi’s license to practice medicine, with one year as an active suspension and the reminder to be served as probation, effective March 16, 2009. The Appellate Division, Superior Court granted an Interim Stay on March 4, 2009. The Appellate Division Panel subsequently remanded for a Plenary Hearing in its unpublished Opinion of February 26, 2010. In deciding the Attorney General’s Motion for reconsideration, the Appellate Division Panel directed the findings at the Hearing be made in the alternative applying two different standards of proof. The New Jersey Supreme Court thereafter denied the Attorney General’s petition for Certification on June 30, 2010. An Amended Complaint was filed with the Office of Administrative Law (“OAL”) on July 27, 2010. The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued an Opinion and Order deciding the Motions on January 24, 2011, precluding Dr. Ragi from presenting certain expert witnesses. A Settlement conference was held on February 1, 2011, with the ALJ, Dr. Ragi counsel, and the Deputy Attorney General. Dr. Ragi and the Board are now desirous of resolving this matter without further formal proceedings. Dr. Ragi therefore consented and agreed to each and every term of this Consent Order without admitting any allegations of wrongful professional conduct. The Board ordered and Dr. Ragi agreed to be reprimanded. Dr. Ragi will permanently refrain from treating female patients in any practice setting and will not attempt at any time in any place to seek a restoration of his privilege or ability to practice medicine by treating female patients.
