Corina Hollander, DPM, a podiatrist in Tucson, Ariz., has been sentenced to 33 months in prison and given five years of probation in a prescription fraud cause, according to an Arizona Daily Star report.
In March, Dr. Hollander pleaded guilty to attempted conspiracy, attempted trafficking in the identity of another person, attempted fraud schemes and obtaining a narcotic drug by fraud. She was sentenced by Pima County Superior Court Judge Christopher Browning.
When Dr. Hollander was indicted last June, authorities said her fraudulent activity progressed from writing fraudulent painkiller prescriptions for co-workers to writing them in patient and family members' names.
