Medical Board of California Accusation Leads to
Surrender of Beverly Hills Physician's Medical License
SACRAMENTO—Facing a formal Accusation of wrongdoing by the Medical Board of California, Beverly Hills physician Parviz Nasseri, M.D. agreed to surrender his license to practice medicine. The stipulated surrender of his medical license was ordered on December 2, 2005 and became effective on December 9, 2005. On July 20, 2005 Nasseri was ordered by the Los Angeles County Superior Court to cease the practice of medicine and has been enjoined from practicing medicine up to the time he surrendered his medical license. Medical Board Executive Director Dave Thornton stated, "The mission of the Medical Board is to protect healthcare consumers. We work diligently to achieve our mission by vigorously enforcing the Medical Practice Act."
The Medical Board accused Nasseri of unprofessional conduct for violating Business and Professions Code sections 726, 2234(b) (c) (d) (e) in that he committed acts constituting sexual misconduct, gross negligence, incompetence, repeated negligent acts, and acts of dishonesty in his care and treatment of three patients.
Nasseri is accused of committing acts of sexual abuse and misconduct in that he touched intimate parts of patients in a manner that was unrelated to, and outside the scope of, the medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment of the patients' injuries. Nasseri also is accused of failing to conduct appropriate examinations for the patients' complaints and injuries as well as signing a comprehensive medical report concerning one patient which described findings and examinations that he did not conduct.
