Police and federal authorities have charged others doctors affiliated with the clinics with attempted murder, kidnapping and prescription drug fraud. Some patients say they were discharged to recover at horse stables following their surgeries. Yet, the clinics’ doors remain open. And the patients, many wooed by ‘cost benefits’, online testimonials and sales pitches, keep coming from all over the country.

A ‘Thriving Practice’ by this cast of doctors:

Labrador later settled the charges, paying a $30,000 fine, performing community service and accepting a reprimand.
