This matter was opened to the Board on or about December 3, 2009, by the filing of a Verified Administrative Complaint seeking the temporary suspension of Dr. Howell’s license to practice medicine and surgery.

FINAL ORDER OF DISCIPLINE filed February 17, 2010. This matter was opened to the New Jersey Board upon receipt of information that on or about April 13, 2009, the New York Board entered a “Determination and Order” which provided for the revocation of Dr. Patin’s license to practice medicine and a $50,000.00 fine. The Order also provided that the following specifications set forth in the Amended Statement of Charges were sustained: negligence on more than one occasion; incompetence on more than one occasion; fraudulent practice; making or filing a false report; unwarranted tests or treatment; conduct evidencing moral unfitness; and failure to maintain records. The disciplinary action taken by the New York Board against Dr. Patin’s license provided the New Jersey Board with grounds to take disciplinary action against his license to practice medicine in New Jersey, in that his New York license was revoked. Based on the findings and conclusions, a Provisional Order of Discipline (“POD”) was entered on December 14, 2009 and served upon Dr. Patin. Dr. Patin did not submit a response and upon review of this matter, the New Jersey Board determined that further proceedings were unnecessary and that the POD should be finalized without change. The New Jersey Board ordered the license of Dr. Patin suspended until such time as he holds an active unrestricted license to practice medicine and surgery in New York. Prior to resuming active practice in New Jersey, Dr. Patin will be required to appear before the Board, or a Committee of the Board, to demonstrate he is fit to practice medicine in New Jersey and that he holds an active, unrestricted license to practice medicine and surgery in New York. EFFECTIVE DATE: February 17, 2010.
