A longtime Toms River pediatrician was sentenced today to 60 days in jail, put on probation for three years and ordered to perform 60 days of community service for surreptitiously taking nude photographs of a patient and giving expired vaccines to others.
Jose Romillo, 66, of Bay Point Drive, also was ordered to repay $1,246 to an insurance company that bore the cost of revaccinating the patients.
Superior Court Judge Stephanie M. Wauters, who imposed the sentence, said she had struggled with what punishment to give Romillo. She said she gave heavy weight to the need to deter him, and equally heavy weight to the fact that he voluntarily surrendered his medical license.
