But that punishment was not nearly enough, said the victims of Gregorio Nosov- sky. who worked at the West- on -based Advanced Center for Cosmetic Surgery in 2004. • "Dr. Greg," as patients knew him. would often han- dle consultations and perform . exams on customers who came to the center looking to improve [heir appearance. The center was actually run • by his older brother, Isaac, who was a state -licensed phy- sician. But Gregorio Nosovsky, 62, crossed the line when he started prepping patients for surgery and prescribing drugs to deal with the post -surgery pain, prosecutors said. Many of the women, who spent thousands of dollars to get breast implants, breast reductions or liposuction, had to spend thousands more to get corrective surgery. 'A MONSTER' Gregorio Nosovsky, who has a medical license in Mex- ico, claims his brother per- formed the surgeries. Katiuscia Edme, 34 went to Nosovsky for a breast aug- mentation on Valentine's Day 2004 and has spent more than 810.000 to fix complications from the surgery. • She has lost much of the strength in her upper body mu scles, she said. • "He's a monster,' Edme said. "I saved up since I was 15 years old for my surgery. I went to Weston, not a butcher shop." About 39 women have said they've had complications from surgeries performed by Nosovsky. but prosecutors conceded that it would have been difficult to prove that he was the person wielding the surgical knife.

State law allowed Nosov- sky to perform presurgery exams and to give advice to patents on what type of sur- gery would be appropriate. He was not allowed to partic- ipate in any surgical proce- dures. Five women testified in court Friday, and all talked of how Nosovsky posed as doctor, even wheeling them into operating rooms just before their procedures. DECEPTIVE LOOKS Nosovsky certainly dressed the part, prosecutors said. He often wore a white lab coat with the name tag "Dr. Nosovsky' and also had busi- ness made up display- ing that title. "What he did was an ani- mat act,' said Marta Gonza- lez, who last part of her breast during a procedure she claims was performed by Gregorio Nosovsky. "I have terrible night- s. I had a hole in my chest." Last month, Nosovsky pleaded guilty in exchange for the lighter sentence. Practic- ing without a medical license is o third-degree felony that cries a potential five-year prison sentence if Nosovsky went to trial Nosovsky will also serve five years' probation and will not he allowed to work at a medical facility again, Circuit Judge Joel Lazarus ordered. A tearful Nosovsky apolo- gized to the patients whom he led to believe he was a certi- fied physician in Florida "It was never my intention to mislead anyone of who I r my qualifications," he mod. Many of the victims in the se first heard of Nosovskys through television commer- cials and their talk show appearances on local Spanish - language TV stations. Gregorio Nosovsky w often introduced on TV ae a doctor. Isaac Nosovsky was con- victed in 2006 on federal Medicare fraud charges for billing the system for expen- sive HIV/AIDS infusions that on very rare occasions helped AIDS/HIV patients. Accord- ing to the federal indictment, each injection cost S7,000 to 510.675. He was sentenced to 65 Some non Ss prism wanted the same tough sentence for Gregorio Nosnvsky. "He destroyed my breast. He's a criminal and deserves more time." said Gonzalez. who left the courtroom in tears and clutching pictures from the surgery. 'He's a jerk and he's a fake."

Haiti Fa A physician who has spent more than a quarter century working in Haiti and other Third World countries was honored Tuesday in Miami. BY JACQUELINE CHARLES iemdes,aMuun iaeraw cod As a world-renowned physician, Dr. Paul Farmer has brought his approach to public health to some of the most gut -wrenching places in the world. On Tuesday, he brought that approach — and the les- sons it offers — to the Uni- versity of Miami Miller School of Medicine. "We cannot move for. ward in American healthcare without social medicine," said Farmer, who touts not just treating illnesses but understanding and attacking social and economic condi- tions in order to make treat- me nt most effective. In Haiti, where Farmer has worked for the past 25 years, that means not just providing drugs to HIV -in- fected patients but also ensuring they have clean drinking water and zinc sheeting for thew homes and helping to strengthen the public health system by rebuilding hospitals and training local doctors. Tuesday night, Farmer vas honored during a dinner t the Lois Pope LIFE Center, 1095 NW 14th Ter., Miami, with the 2009 Lois Pope LIFF. International Achievement Award.
