Today is October 15, 2024. There’s major news out of New Jersey: Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin announced that the State Board of Medical Examiners has permanently revoked the medical license of Dr. Muhammad A. Mirza. Mirza, a board-certified internist from Cedar Grove, faced allegations of performing invasive aesthetic procedures with inadequate training, posing imminent danger to patients. Dr. Mirza performed various costly procedures through his practice, “Mirza Aesthetics,” often in makeshift spaces across several states.
Authorities began investigating Mirza in 2021 after numerous consumer complaints. Findings revealed gross deviations from medical standards, including inappropriate use of dermal fillers, inadequate storage of medical supplies, and performing procedures in unsuitable conditions. One significant case involved permanent physical harm to a patient from a penile injection, highlighting the severe consequences of his actions.
Mirza eventually agreed to the permanent revocation of his license to resolve the allegations. He also faced federal charges for healthcare fraud, resulting in a 26-month prison sentence and over $1.3 million in restitution. Under the new order, Mirza is barred from any future medical practice or patient contact in New Jersey.
This action underscores the importance of proper training and adherence to safety standards in aesthetic medicine, ensuring that patient health and safety remain paramount.
