Dr. Burgos has been arrested and accused of inappropriately touching one of his patients.
The North Las Vegas police said that that on Wednesday, the detectives arrested this 50-year-old, named Dr. Jorge Burgos from his office in the 1800 block of East Lake Mead Boulevard. Dr. Burgos will be facing multiple counts of open and gross lewdness.
There were allegations that on multiple occasions, and not just one, this doctor inappropriately touched a patient. He was arrested but was bailed out of jail recently.
The victim said she always found him flirtatious, and that made her uncomfortable as his actions were intensified, at first he would greet her with friendly hugs and then would lead to kisses and groping. The victim has also claimed that there must be other people he would touch inappropriately.
“In 2011, a patient accused Dr. Burgos accused him of kissing her, case #110301004208,” wrote Officer Jorge Carrea in his arrest report. “She had chosen not to file charges.”
Some patients at the office were shocked to hear that the doctor had been arrested. One woman, who had only been a patient of Burgos a few times, said she doesn’t believe the allegations.
“I am in shock right now. I didn’t know what happened, but I hope it’s not true,” she said. “I’m going to continue to see him, and I hope everything comes out right with him.”
