“The name on the white lab coat, résumé and patient thank-you cards all read Dr. Sean Craig Fein.
But the man who for nearly a year prescribed eyewear for scores of customers at a Wal-Mart was no Dr. Fein. He wasn’t even licensed as an optometrist in Florida, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which arrested him at his Highland Beach apartment early Friday morning.
Denis Jason Palmer, 43, allegedly convinced nearly a dozen optometry clinics in Palm Beach and Broward counties that he was Dr. Fein. He was charged with practicing optometry without a license, scheme to defraud and grand theft, sheriff’s spokesman Paul Miller said.
More than 20 grams of marijuana and large amounts of OxyContin were found in the apartment, sheriff’s deputies said.”
Now I know why those buffoons and nimrods that post on this blog about how we need to lower barriers to professional practice are so myopic!
Dr Palmer is not an impersonator. He is a licensed optometrist for 16 years. Just not licensed in the state of Florida.
How does the real Dr. Sean C. Fein feel about all this? Does he even know?
