Phony doctor Stephan Gevorkian allegedly treated thousands of patients

Stephan Gevorkian was arrested after an undercover investigator found him impersonating a doctor in Southern California. The 44-year-old is suspected of treating thousands of patients without a valid medical license. He worked in Pathways Medical, which is his own clinic.

While police were suspicious of his impersonation, they sent an undercover investigator to the clinic in November 2022, for a consultation. The officer said that Gevorkian failed to accurately address abnormal levels of a certain hormone which could have indicated a serious medical issue.

He currently faces charges of five counts of practicing medicine without a license. According to Gevorkian’s lawyers any claims that he was impersonating a doctor to deceive or treat unsuspecting people was "misleading and demonstrably false.”

Prosecutors claimed that Gevorkian treated patients who had several ailments, including viral infections and even complex ailments like cancer. His establishment would conduct blood tests and advise on treatments to the patients, who had no idea what was going on.

A press release stated that the clinic conducts blood tests and advises treatments while also offering treatment for serious ailments.
