Unlicensed Hackettstown Doctor Used Second Name: Police

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — A doctor accused of practicing medicine without a license for 13 years allegedly used more than one name, Hackettstown police said.

Paramjit Singh, the doctor accused of practicing without a license, also went by the last name Reen, police said. They're asking all of Singh's patients to call the Warren County Prosecutor's Office Tip line at 908-475-6643, or toll free at 866-942-6467.

Singh is accused of practicing in Hackettstown, Washington, Warren County and Roxbury without a valid medical license, the prosecutor's office said. His license was suspended in 2004.

Singh has been practicing at Medical Care Associates, Family Practice / Urgent Care. His name is not currently listed on the practices website.

The charges sent shockwaves through the community, with many wondering how they would find a new doctor on such short notice.

Police say the owner, Parminderjeet Sandhu, of Long Valley, knew Singh did not have a license and allowed him to work as a doctor anyway.

Sandhu is being charged with aiding or abetting another in practicing medicine without a license.
