Maryland Board Of Physicians Sanctions

An abortionist in Severna Park loses his license:

Romeo A. Ferrer, M.D., License #: D09255
Area of Practice:  OB/GYN (Annapolis, MD)
Permanent Surrender of medical license.  The physician decided to permanently surrender his license while he was under investigation; the Board's investigation found that in 2006 during the course of an elective abortion procedure, he failed to meet the standards of quality care resulting
in the death of a patient
.  Date of Action:  October 27, 2010
 

Three abortionists, working for American Women's Services, with facilities in several states (5 locations in Maryland) have lost their licenses in an interstate abortion scam:

Steven Chase Brigham, M.D., Unlicensed
Area of Practice: None, (Voorhees, NJ)
Cease and Desist from practicing medicine without a license.  The physician not licensed in Maryland has been performing surgical procedures (abortions) in Maryland.  Date of Action:  August 25, 2010.
(Brigham owned and operated the American Women's Services facilities. He has previously been licensed in New York, but his license was revoked in 1994 for gross negligence.)
 

Nicola I. Riley, M.D., License #: D71213
Area of Practice: Family Practice (Salt Lake City, UT)
Summary Suspension.  The Board concluded, including but not limited to, that the physician exercised poor medical judgement and otherwise exposed her patients to harm in that she practiced with an unlicensed individual, knowingly participated in a surgical procedure that was initiated elsewhere, and at a hospital acted in a manner that delayed or otherwise impeded hospital staff from attending to that patient.  Date of Action:  August 31, 2010
(This doctor flew in from Utah to perform abortions in Maryland, including this botched abortion which
perforated the patient's uterus, requiring helicopter evacuation to Johns Hopkins for emergency surgery)
 

George Shepard, Jr., M.D., License #: D48352
Area of Practice: OB/GYN (Seaford, DE)
Order for Summary Suspension issued on August 31, 2010 continued after post- deprivation hearing.  The Board determined that the physician knowingly participated (As the Medical Director) in a practice arrangement in which abortions were initiated in one state and patients were instructed to drive across state lines for completion of the procedure, and practiced with an unlicensed individual and facilitated the unlicensed practice of medicine.    Date of Action:  September 9, 2010

Here are some other Board actions of local interest:

Arthur C. Marsh, M.D., License #: D64981
Area of Practice: Internal Medicine (Salisbury, MD)
Revocation for 1 year to commence on July 16, 2010; if Respondent applies for reinstatement he has the affirmative duty to demonstrate to the Board factors set out in the order.  The physician violated conditions of the July 26, 2006, Consent Order that addressed his impairment issues.  Date of Action:  June 1, 2010


Deborah McCabe, Unlicensed
(Salisbury, MD) 
Fine of $10,000; Cease and Desist from the practice of medicine.  The Respondent, among other things, represented herself as a physician and practiced medicine without a license.   Date of Action: September 22, 2010 

William Gill, M.D., License #: D15715
Area of Practice: General Practice (Westover, MD)
Permanent Surrender.  The Board accepted a permanent surrender based on its determination that the physician engaged in unprofessional conduct in the practice of medicine during the course of the examinations of male patients, and willfully failed to file or record a medical report as required.  Date of Action:  September 8, 2010

And there are many other punishments that get handed down that never go public or make it to the website.

Someone from the Dental Board needs to take a look at Dr. Perim from Peninsula Periodontics and Orthodontics for all of his malpractice.

He overcharges patients, charges them for proceedures that he doesn't perform, bills for items not performed.

He has been turned into the dental board numerous times and nothing is ever done. I personally called twice and was told that he is being investigated by the attorney general for fraud.

I am no longer a patient and others need to be educated about him.

5:58 I work in the dental field, the word is he's being investigated. But yes, absolute nightmare. No one should go to him, it's awful.

What do you know about these physicians other then a few sentences posted on a website. It sickens me to see people like Mr. Albero who are the first to criticize and condemn others for their mistakes as though they have lived their lives without doing any wrong. Please, take a look at yourselves and if you truly are without sin then by all means cast the first stone.
