Dr. Matzner, 57, has been charged with two felonies, each of which include prescribing controlled substances, providing them unlawfully. He has been accused of using his business as a drug supply for illegal users and dealers by the supreme court.
There has been a year long investigation going on, and as per the reports, Matzner was overprescribing opiates and other medicines to his patients, authorities said.
His office at Parrot Lane in Simi Valley was searched, after which a number of medical files and other evidences were seized. During that period, Matzner had given up his drug enforcement administration registration, which was required by all physicians, but now he has been suspended from writing any kind of prescriptions for controlled substances.
Over time, Matzner’s office had become a source for drug users and dealers. His patients were illegally diverting the drugs which he prescribed without a legitimate purpose.
During investigation he could not specify which drugs the doctor may have been prescribing, Weilbacher stated the substances fell under the DEA’s schedules II, III and IV.
Matzner, who is licensed in California and Nevada, has been practicing medicine for 31 years now and is also affiliated with both Simi Valley and Los Robles hospitals.
