Rodolfo Giraldi, MD, is accused of aiding the practice of medicine without a license from March 2022 to October 2023, causing “physical and psychological harm” to three women, according to the report.
In October, Alexander Padilla was charged with practicing medicine without a license after allegedly performing a botched breast surgery at Dr. Giraldi’s cosmetic ASC.
The charge was dismissed in March, according to the report, and Mr. Padilla was instead charged with practicing medicine without a license, causing physical harm, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
More than 30 women have come forward stating they received a botched surgery from Mr. Padilla, according to the report. Investigators are alleging Dr. Giraldi failed to monitor and supervise Mr. Padilla.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
