PHOENIX — State investigators are looking for individuals who may have been medically treated by a man impersonating a doctor.
Jose Andres Lopez, 40, has been indicted for 48 felony counts of fraud, forgery, identity theft, and computer tampering. Some of the charges accuse Lopez of stealing the identity of a doctor in Lake Havasu City and forging electronic prescriptions.
Lopez is not a licensed physician, the AG's office said.
The alleged offenses occurred between 2017 and 2021, according to Lopez's indictment.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office said Wednesday they're looking for individuals who may have received medical treatments from Lopez at the Institute for Male Health and Performance in Mohave County.
The defendant may have used the title “Dr. Joseph Lopez.” Anyone with information about the defendant can contact the AG's office at 928-778-7463.
