Unlicensed physician treated patients for three years
August 27, 2015
Police have arrested a Staten Island man on charges that he posed as a clinical psychologist and treated more than 100 patients over the course of three years. Donald R. Lee-Edwards faces several charges, including criminal sale of controlled substances, identity theft, and criminal impersonation.
According to authorities, Lee-Edwards never even completed medical school but still treated patients out of his home, taking blood and urine samples, interpreting lab results, and prescribing anti-depressants by calling in prescriptions to a pharmacy under another physician’s name.
