MAN ACCUSED OF IMPERSONATING DOCTOR, ILLEGALLY TREATING THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS

A Studio City man is accused of impersonating a doctor and illegally treating
thousands of patients for “several years” from a North Hollywood clinic.

Stephan Gevorkian, 44, faces five felony counts of practicing medicine without a
certification, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced
Monday.

“Practicing medicine without a license is not only a criminal activity in
California, it can cause irreparable harm to the health of unsuspecting people,
some with serious illnesses, who believe they are under the care of a licensed
physician,” District Attorney George Gascón said in a written statement.

Gevorkian owns and operates Pathways Medical Group in North Hollywood, according
to the DA’s office. The clinic conducts blood tests, advises patients on
treatments and offers treatments for serious conditions including cancer and
viral infections.

His scheme was revealed by an undercover investigator who set up a consultation
with him in November 2022. During the consultation, Gevorkian “failed to
accurately address abnormal levels of a hormone that could indicate a serious
medical condition,” the DA’s office said.

Gevorkian was arraigned on the charges Friday, when a judge released him on his
own recognizance under the condition he not practice medicine, a spokesperson
for the district attorney’s office said Tuesday.

Gevorkian was never arrested, the spokesperson said.

on his behalf.
