Alan Mendelsohn, an eye doctor soon to begin a four-year prison term for political corruption and tax crimes, has struck a deal that would let him return to medical practice after his release from prison.
Mendelsohn, 53, is to appear before the Florida Board of Medicine on Friday with his attorney to ask for approval of the settlement negotiated with the Department of Health. The board could adopt it or offer a counter-settlement.
The agreement on the table includes a reprimand, a $20,000 fine, and a two-month suspension followed by three years of probation. He would be required to take some classes and and provide 500 annual hours of free ophthalmology care to indigent patients.
