WARNING ABOUT DR. DEBORAH METZGER

*******WARNING ABOUT DR. DEBORAH METZGER*********

Dr. Deborah Metzger injured many, MANY women. She was disciplined by the Medical Board of California. Here is what the Medical Board of California Action Report of July 2005 read:

"...charged with gross negligence, incompetence, repeated negligent acts and excessive treatment in the care and treatment of six patients, prescribing without medical indication, creating false medical documents and failing to maintain adequate and accurate medical records in the care and treatment of five patients and violating advertising statutes pertaining to a Fictitious Name Permit. Revoked, stayed, placed on five years probation with terms and conditions including, but not limited to, obtaining a practice/billing monitor, prohibited from practicing surgery, specifically from practicing laparoscopy, laparotomy, and hernia repair surgery, completing a prescribing practices course and ordered to pay cost recovery of $25,000."

The medical board only goes after the worst of the worst doctors. Gross negligence. Dr. Metzger just recently completed the five year probation on her license and I fear she will once again prey on chronic pain patients like us. She is charismatic and convincing and lures in desperate patients who have chronic health problems. If you have seen her and have not been harmed, feel lucky. It was only through the efforts of the Medical Board of California and the patients who came forward that the public has been protected.

You can view the full public records of the injuries she caused to patients, overprescribed medications, falsified surgery reports, medical records, and billing and made false claims of being able to cure patients.
