Man Impersonating Doctor Treats Thousands, Including Cancer Patients, Without License: Prosecutors

Stephan Gevorkian, a California man, has been charged with five felony counts of practicing medicine without certification for treating thousands of patients, including for cancer, over several years. Gevorkian owns and operates Pathways Medical in North Hollywood, which performs blood tests, advises patients about treatments, and offers treatments for various conditions. An undercover investigator received consultation from Gevorkian on Nov. 17, 2022, during which he allegedly failed to recognize abnormal levels of a hormone that could indicate a serious medical condition. The state’s Department of Consumer Affairs and the district attorney’s office’s Consumer Protection Division are investigating.
