CT Suspends License Of Stamford Doctor: Report

STAMFORD, CT — Connecticut's Medical Examining Board suspended the license of a Stamford doctor on Tuesday, according to a report from the Connecticut Health I-Team.

Dr. Jeffrey Stern, a New York City resident, had his license revoked after state Department of Public Health officials said his excessive alcohol and drug use, and his mental illnesses, may affect his ability to safely practice medicine, the Connecticut Health I-Team said.

"A statement of charges against him says that Dr. Jeffrey Stern excessively used alcohol and narcotics in 2019 and 2020 and since 2019, has had mental illnesses or emotional disorders," Connecticut Health I-Team reported.

The charges also stated that Stern, who was licensed to practice in Connecticut, treated patients in New York and violated laws related to prescribing controlled substances.

Stern's lawyer asked that a public hearing on the case be continued in August, the Connecticut Health I-Team said.
