WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Malachi Love-Robinson, 18, also known as Dr. Robinson to his patients, was arrested after he allegedly gave physical exams and medical advice to real patients, including an undercover officer, reports the SLO Tribune.
Love-Robinson is charged with practicing medicine without a license.
The eighteen year old was giving exams at a “holistic medical clinic” he founded in West Palm Beach, but this wasn’t the first time he did this.
He was previously caught acting like a doctor at St. Mary’s Medical Center in January 2015. He was standing in on gynecology exams while wearing his lab coat.
The strange things is he was greatly admired in the medical world.
Love-Robinson opened the New Birth New Life Holistic and Alternative Medical Center and Urgent Care in West Palm Beach. In the business paperwork, he is listed as the CEO.
He also has a five-star ranking on Healthgrades.com.
Once authorities began investigating, they found out that he had already been told once to stop.
After discovering this news, authorities sent an undercover officer for an exam, and he was arrested.
“This guy can schmooze his way around, he can tell any story you want to hear,” said Dr. Sebastian Kent, an OB/GYN whose office is on the St. Mary’s Medical Center grounds. “That’s what he tried to do with me – he tried to ingratiate himself with me so I would take him around, and after a while it started to not make sense to me. I thought something was wrong.”
