An orthopedic doctor I consulted who gave me a huge run around (eventually wasting a lot of my time and attempting to mislead me) is up for disciplinary action again in The State Of Michigan. His name was on the roster before the MICHIGAN BOARD OF MEDICINE DISCIPLINARY SUBCOMMITTEE dated JULY 17, 2024. No further information was available about the proceedings.

Florida State records indicate Doctor Scott Katzman of Orthopedic And Laser Spine Surgery of Florida was finally fined & disciplined for an offense in 2023 after many complaints, lawsuits by patients and customers. A TV news report in 2019 also pointed out that despite the public outcry & outstanding claims, the state was not doing enough to reprimand the MD and allowed him to continue to operate.

Television station WPTV NBC Channel 5 of West Palm Beach, Florida did a piece in 2019 which investigated Doctor Scott Katzman of Orthopedic And Laser Spine Surgery of Florida. WPTV found through state records, that Katzman's insurance has paid out more than $1.6 million involving seven malpractice cases and two patient deaths in Florida.

I had my own dealings with Dr. Katzman in 2022 in which he waited 5 months before appointing a junior MD to speak to me about my case and tried to convince me no injuries appeared in MRI which showed 6 inches diameter of infection surrounding a fracture in the bottom of my skull that had gone mistreated and unrecognized for about a year. When I asked the first name of Dr. Wayne J. Broth MD he refused to give it and abruptly ended our recorded telephone call (you can hear it in hours of videos documenting my dealings with these doctors). Strangely, the state of Florida refused to investigate my complaint regarding the practice of a several-times reprimanded doctor.

In August, 2022 I filed a complaint with The State Of Florida Department Of Health VS Dr. Wayne Broth of Florida and New Jersey.

Dr. Wayne Broth also called me from a 908 area code although a person licensed to practice medicine by that name does not show up on the New Jersey license look up page.

After nearly 5 months I am finally put in contact with Dr. Wayne J. Broth, OLSS spinal consultant. I sent my MRI images which were misread by other doctors to New Jersey & Florida based Dr. Scott Katzman's office (Orthopedic & Laser Spine Surgery). His website advertises a free MRI Review. I sent in images and records from many of my MRI and CT scans, showing a very serious head injury which has slowly healed from 2018. I had broken the underside of my skull and had parasites and infection develop over several months. These injuries are clearly visible in the images presented, not noted by the original reading radiologists. In March, 2022, after a request was sent to me for insurance information from past medical visits (I have no insurance), communication from this office ceased (I tried to call back, but was only able to leave a message on their machine).

Then in June I started receiving emails fr

00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me. A doctor that I went to seeking a free MRI analysis
00:15and had a lot of problems dealing with is back up for disciplinary action in yet another U.S.
00:23State. I'll go into the details about my own experience. This was published by the State of
00:30Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs based out of Lansing, Michigan. Michigan
00:37Board of Medicine Disciplinary Subcommittee, July 17th, 2024. And you'll see here that under
00:47consent orders and stipulations, the name of Dr. Scott Stephen Katzman, MD, appears. No further
00:55information on the disposition of this meeting. There are many complaints against this doctor
01:01for our patients and customers. Television broadcaster WPTV, NBC Channel 5, out of West Palm Beach,
01:11Florida, did a piece on Katzman in 2019. And they looked at his medical practice, orthopedic and
01:21laser spine surgery. WPTV found through state records that Katzman's insurance had paid out
01:27more than $1.6 million in seven malpractice cases. They also found he was linked to two patient deaths
01:36through his procedures in the state of Florida. And they mentioned problems here with having the
01:42Florida Board of Medicine and concerns that they are not doing enough to regulate the activities of
01:50doctors named in malpractice situations. However, despite the number of complaints that exist on the
01:59internet, the state of Florida Department of Health has been somewhat sluggish in holding this medical
02:10doctor accountable, you can search Katzman's medical license to operate at the Florida Department of
02:18Health website. And under final disciplinary actions reported by the Department of Health within the last
02:2510 years, you can find this entry in September 2023. The allegation is that the doctor made deceptive,
02:38untrue, or fraudulent representations in their operative report. Fined $5,000 with additional costs of $7,500.
02:48And according to the report here, Dr. Katzman was credited as leading an operation in 2016,
02:59which was in fact performed by another doctor. And the documents claim Katzman only assisted in this
03:10operation. You can see several hours documentation on my interaction with this doctor based in
03:18the state of Florida in New Jersey, and his associate, Dr. Wayne J. Broth, MD, have got scanned
03:28records, emails, as well as recorded telephone exchanges that you can listen to between myself and the offices
03:39of these doctors. They're up on my YouTube channel. I sent images of a very serious broken skull based
03:48injury to these doctors. They stated as such in email and telephone calls that they reviewed these
03:57images and that no injuries appeared. And this was not true. I had a lot of strange problems crop up in
04:05the process of getting my free MRI analysis from these doctors. Sent the pictures in in early 2022.
04:15There was a brief period of back and forth email exchange between myself and the office of this
04:23doctor. Then in an email, I was asked about insurance information. I of course have no insurance. I have
04:29no source of income. And despite them offering a free MRI review, at this point, five months of silence
04:38set in. So they lost interest in helping me out despite their free service. Finally, five months
04:46later, I was contacted and told that Dr. Wayne J. Broth, who works with Orthopedic Laser Spine Surgery
04:54of Florida, had reviewed my records that I sent in and wanted to do the consultation. All of a sudden,
05:01out of the blue, really. Yeah, go up there to YouTube and listen to that telephone call with
05:06Dr. Broth. And you'll hear he tries to convince me for most of the call that I have no injury
05:11present. Finally, I asked for this doctor's first name and he all of a sudden wanted to get off the
05:17telephone. So this is very suspicious. I filed complaints against orthopedic and laser spine
05:24surgery. Dr. Scott Katzman and Dr. Wayne J. Broth with the Florida Department of Health in 2022.
05:34I had a lot of problems with the Department of Health not looking into my case. They stalled the
05:43investigation for four months. At one point, they told me that my records that I provided were not
05:51complete. I argued that they had more than enough material to go on. They weren't interested in the
05:59emails which contained IP addresses, which the state of Florida could have traced back to Dr. Katzman's
06:07computers, for example. They weren't interested in the recorded telephone calls between myself and
06:15Dr. Wayne Broth. They could have easily called the doctor's number and spoke to him. You can hear
06:21my recorded telephone calls with the representatives of the Florida Department of Health on my YouTube
06:27channel. And eventually, they simply would not investigate my case and my complaints, despite the
06:35fact that there are these numerous judgments, disciplinary actions, as well as these news reports
06:43in the media detailing the actions of this doctor. I think the state of Florida is simply lazy.
06:50The Florida Department of Health, Dr. Scott Katzman, Wayne J. Broth, in orthopedic laser spine
06:57surgery in the state of Florida. These are all very untrustworthy outfits. And prospective patients
07:04out there, do your research before you seek health treatment in the state of Florida. I believe there's a
07:12possibility of conspiracy in my dealings with Scott Katzman's office as it relates to the other
07:21documentation that you'll see in my videos. There's a curious several month lapse between when I submitted
07:31my MRI and CT images to this doctor and when he finally decided to do the consultation. And I believe
07:40he contacted the original radiologists and doctors involved, Dr. Julian Patrick Druhan, MD,
07:50Donald Shane Kelly, MD, Michael Brandt Ruff, MD, and Angus Baird, MD. These doctors were associated with
08:00Birmingham Radiological Group, Vulcan Imaging Associates, and Ascension St. Vincent's Hospital
08:07in Birmingham, Alabama.
