GEORGIA MEDICAL BOARD
FORMAL COMPLAINT REQUESTING INVESTIGATION AND REVIEW

In the Matter of:
Darria Long Gillespie
License No. [LICENSE NUMBER, IF KNOWN]
1900, Atlanta, Georgia, 30309
NPI (public registry): 1669658746

I. INTRODUCTION

Complainant respectfully submits this complaint to the Georgia Medical Board requesting formal investigation and regulatory review concerning Darria Long Gillespie (the Respondent), identified in the attached public materials.

The public materials reviewed appear to present representations concerning the identification and management of health conditions, including Reversal of autoimmune arthritis via 'high-yield strategies', Providing 'integrative medicine' and 'eastern medicine' advice for mental wellness, and Integrative medicine advice for physical and mental wellness, that may extend beyond the M.D. scope in Georgia. The materials also appear to describe paid consultations, care plans, or product sales offered in connection with those representations.

Public registry records associate the Respondent's licensure with Massachusetts, while the practice location described in the public materials is in Georgia. This complaint is directed to the board for the state where the practice is publicly advertised. The licensing authority in Massachusetts may also accept a complaint concerning the same conduct.

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.

The principal public materials reviewed include https://drdarria.com/, https://drdarria.com/truevelab/, https://www.amazon.com/Mom-Hacks-Science-Backed-Shortcuts-Unstoppable/dp/0738284645/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=mom+hacks&qid=1561138728&s=gateway&sr=8-2 and the public registry and license verification sources listed in the exhibit index below.
