TAYLOR, Mich. – A neurologist hit with 35 charges was in court as he surrendered his medical license.
Dr. Ram Garg, who is accused of running what Taylor police call a nightmare pill mill that drew people from all over Michigan and Ohio, was in court on Tuesday (Oct. 29).
Garg was released on a $100,000 personal bond.
He pled not guilty Tuesday afternoon to a scheme involving him writing bogus prescriptions for dangerous opioids and then allegedly making up fake medical bills to rake in millions of dollars.
People continue to call Local 4 with tips about what went on in his office.
It is the first time we are seeing Garg in court, and now officially charged.
Local 4 cameras were there when Taylor police raided Garg’s Taylor clinic in late September with staggering allegations that the doctor was writing bogus prescriptions for narcotics highly addictive opioids to thousands from Michigan and Ohio.
Taylor police said Garg’s clinic on Telegraph Road was known as the place where the doctor would write you prescriptions for painkillers if you needed them or not, fueling addiction and all that comes with it.
Garg was hit with 35 charges from unlawful prescribing, falsifying medical records, and health care fraud.
The phone continued to ring at the Taylor Police Department with more information about the doctor and for people calling to thank Taylor police.
A mother who has a child in addiction recovery spoke to us about the situation.
We also first exposed that there is a bedroom in this clinic—not just a bed, a full bedroom, which a former employee called a recovery room.
Police are working on some allegations of sexual misconduct.
