Sarasota surgeon and dermatologist Dr. Michael Rosin wants to keep performing surgery in spite of the fact that he's been indicted on charges of routinely lying about skin cancer diagnoses and performing unnecessary surgery. Rosin's lawyers have filed a petition to overturn the Florida Department of Health's order prohibiting him from diagnosing skin cancer and performing surgery. The state has accused him of gross malpractice, inadequate record keeping and demonstrating a "flagrant disregard" for his duties as a doctor.
It's unbelievable to me that any court would allow such a doctor to continue to practice with such a record. Doctors must be held accountable for their actions if consumers are to be safe and treated with the care and professionalism they expect and demand.

Dr. Rosin treated my husband for a basal cell carcinoma diagnosed in Massachusetts. He had his secretary come in and she, without gloves or washing her hands, held the sides of the incision while he stitched. He took 3 or4 slices before determining the slide was clear. The incision opened and he blamed my husband, He had to have the incision opened and then restitches. The same secretary was called in to hold the area and again no hand washing or gloves. This doctor was recommended by the doctor making the original diagnosis, and she got the name out of a medical directory. We told her what happened and she could not believe it.
