I. INTRODUCTION

This complaint is based exclusively upon publicly available materials and does not rely upon confidential patient records, privileged communications, or non-public investigative information. The factual observations herein were assembled from an automated public-record review of the Respondent's public website and public registry records, and were reviewed and adopted by the Complainant. All observations are potential, unverified signals from public records; the Board is the sole finder of fact.
