Detox doctor is rebuked by medical board - Los Angeles Times

Poor record keeping was the only issue...a nice EMR electronic records program and a few mobile computers can take care of that issue...Ozzie Osbourne...was he happy or not...he didn't show up to interview with officials...but earlier he was very happy with the results under the doctor's care...who knows...I guess that might just be part of the territory when treating high profile celebrities...and nine years...that's a long time for an investigation, but plenty of time to pretty much have everything together...BD

A Beverly Hills physician accused of over-prescribing addictive drugs to celebrity clients, including rock star Ozzy Osbourne, has been publicly reprimanded by the Medical Board of California for poor record-keeping, his lawyer said this week.
The admonishment ends a nine-year investigation of Dr. David A. Kipper, who originally came under fire for operating lavish, unlicensed detoxification programs for Hollywood figures and other clients in hotel suites and on private estates. The decision was reached in September but not released publicly.
Kipper mounted a fierce defense, refusing to surrender patient records on grounds of confidentiality. Ultimately, a court ordered Kipper to turn over the files and pay a $90,000 fine plus fees. By the time the investigators reviewed Osbourne's charts, Kipper's record-keeping practices had improved, those sources said.
