At Your Side When You Face Serious, Career-Ending Allegations
Allegations of misconduct or malpractice can put your career as a physician or other medical professional at risk. Years of schooling and hard work in building a medical practice could be undone by allegations and board decisions that can become matters of public record.
The Georgia Composite Medical Board regulates physicians, physicians' assistants, respiratory care professionals, orthotists, clinical perfusionists and makers of orthotics and prosthetics. The Board's stated Mission Statement is to "protect the health of Georgians through the proper licensing of physicians and certain members of the healing arts and through the objective enforcement of the Medical Practice Act." The Medical Practice Act was completely amended in 2009. Prior to its amendment the Medical Association of Georgia published an article by Mr. Goldstein on the composition, purpose and regulatory authority of the Medical Board.
The Board has the resources of the state of Georgia behind it when prosecuting professionals alleged of wrongdoing. Fortunately, you can counter the powerful resources that oppose you with knowledgeable representation of your own. You will find the dedicated advocacy you need and deserve at the law office of Melvin M. Goldstein, P.C. We provide high-quality legal services to medical professionals when they need it most.

Experience on Both Sides of Physician Licensing Cases
Melvin M. Goldstein has appeared before the Georgia Composite Medical Board in several capacities. He is a former assistant attorney general who prosecuted physician licensing cases against doctors accused of professional misconduct. Today, he brings that insight to help medical professionals facing career-threatening board decisions. That includes representation before the impairment committee dealing with doctors accused of being impaired.
Because physician licensing is a niche area of the law, you should secure an experienced advocate. We provide clients that all-important and unique point-of-view into how the opposing side handles these types of cases. Physicians may face many different types of disciplinary sanctions so you need a seasoned and aggressive advocate at your side.
