The Indiana Medical Licensing Board found that Dr. Mimms failed to exercise reasonable care and diligence, unlawfully prescribed Schedule II controlled substances and administered anesthesia in a facility without the proper accreditation, among other allegations. 

Mr. Rokita’s office received the first complaint against Dr. Mimms in August 2022 and subsequently received 34 more complaints, according to the release.
