NEW CITY – A New York City doctor with an office in Rockland County faces one to three years in state prison when sentenced in Rockland County Court in June.

Dr. David Brizer, 60, pled guilty to charges that he sold prescriptions for Oxycodone and other powerful pain medications to drug dealers from his offices in Nyack and Midtown Manhattan. He also admitted to illegally possessing controlled substances and underreporting his income by at least $490,000 on his state personal tax returns in 2010 and 2011.

“Instead of caring for the sick, Dr. Brizer used his medical license to place powerful addictive narcotics in the hands of drug dealers and feed a prescription drug epidemic that is devastating communities and families across New York,” said State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Brizer charged his customers up to $300 each time he sold them prescriptions in the name of fake patients, ultimately selling prescriptions for several millions of dollars worth of pills.

He also admitted that he sold prescriptions to reputed drug dealer Franklin Walker, 52, of Westtown. He was arrested in December on drug possession charges and grand larceny for causing Medicaid to pay thousands of dollars to pharmacies for narcotics he illegally obtained and resold. He faces up to nine years in state prison. His case is pending.
