TOMS RIVER – A local doctor was sentenced to two years in prison for prescribing oxycodone unlawfully and she will be barred from practicing medicine.
Felicia E. Gonzalez, 65, of Toms River, prescribed oxycodone to three patients without conducting any physical examinations, developing treatment plans, or assessing the patients for drug dependence, police said. She falsified her medical records to show that she had performed examinations when that wasn’t the case.
She had previously been banned from two large pharmacy chains related to her prescribing practices, officials reported.
