Health Department Shuts Down Two Escambia Doctors With No License
February 23, 2015
The Florida Department of Health announced Friday that it has served cease and desist notices to two Escambia County doctors and a business for practicing health care without a license, which is a felony-level criminal offense in many instances. Treatment by an unlicensed person is dangerous and could result in further injury, disease or even death.
Cease and desist orders were served upon:
- Aloha Foot and Body Massage, Massage Establishment, Pensacola
- Jessica Ayers, Medical Doctor, Pensacola
- Abigail Whitaker, Medical Doctor, Pensacola
The department’s Division of Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) Unlicensed Activity (ULA) Program, under authority of Florida Statute 456.065, protects Florida residents and visitors from the potentially serious consequences of receiving health care services from an unlicensed person. The ULA Program investigates all unlicensed health care activity complaints and allegations, and works in conjunction with law enforcement and the state attorney’s offices to prosecute individuals practicing without a license.

WOW.That is scary.You trust your doctor and find out they don’t even have a license.Did they go to medical school?
Told to stop.
But not arrested for felony-level criminal offense.
WHY NOT ?
I often wonder if the license/diploma on the wall is legit. I can print out a diploma and call myself a Dr.
Way to go health department. I never would have thought in this day and age a doctor would fail to get licensed. I sure hope they passed medical school.
