Riverside Healthcare Professional License Defense Attorneys
Local Insight Matters in a Medical Board Case
When a Riverside doctor gets a Medical Board accusation, nearly every step happens right here at home. First come record requests from Kaiser Permanente Riverside Medical Center. Next, an investigator meets with you at the Board’s Southern California office in Rancho Cucamonga. Many cases then proceed to a formal hearing before an administrative law judge on Spruce Street. At the same time, you might face credentialing questions from Riverside Community Hospital or even criminal charges at the Hall of Justice downtown. In short, defending your license is a local battle fought on several fronts.
The Law Office of Daniel Horowitz is built for this landscape, combining statewide medical‑license experience with direct familiarity with Riverside County courts, hospitals, and professional review panels.
One call can set your defense in motion. Contact us at (925) 291-5388 and start building a strong Riverside case today.
Our Medical Board Accusation Defense Strategy
A formal accusation can threaten everything you have built, from clinic privileges on Magnolia Avenue to long‑standing patient relationships across the city. Our defense starts with:
- Evaluating Local Records - Subpoenaing chart notes, electronic logs, and pharmacy data from facilities such as Riverside University Health System‑Medical Center and Loma Linda University Medical Center‑Murrieta.
- Engaging Early with Investigators - Many Board investigators work regularly in Riverside. A prompt, organized response narrows the scope of charges while protecting your rights.
- OAH Hearings on Spruce Street - We tailor witness lists and expert testimony to standards of care practiced in Riverside rather than relying on broad statewide templates.
This targeted approach has helped physicians retain their licenses or secure probation in lieu of revocation.
Peer Review & Hospital Credentialing Defense
Hospitals in Riverside convene peer‑review panels under California Business & Professions Code §805. An 805 report to the Medical Board can derail a career unless challenged swiftly:
- Notice of Proposed Action - You may have as few as 15 days to request a hearing under hospital bylaws.
- Panel Composition - We challenge potential bias when competitors from the same medical group sit on the committee.
- Judicial Review Committee Appeals - If the initial decision is adverse, we prepare concise briefs that resonate with hospital counsel and outside reviewers who understand Riverside practice norms.
Our proactive work has preserved admitting privileges for surgeons at Parkview Community Hospital, anesthesiologists at Riverside Community Hospital, and internists at local outpatient centers.

Medical Fraud & Overbilling Allegations
Federal and state fraud units often coordinate with prosecutors at the Riverside Hall of Justice when allegations involve Medi‑Cal billing, kickbacks, or Stark violations:
- Early Case Assessment - We audit CMS data extracts and billing records before investigators meet with your staff.
- Parallel Proceedings - A single inquiry can trigger both a False Claims Act suit in U.S. District Court on Twelfth Street and a criminal filing downtown. We synchronize defenses to prevent harmful admissions.
- Local Resolution Options - Riverside prosecutors may consider deferred prosecution or restitution agreements when presented with a thorough compliance plan.
Even honest mistakes in billing can trigger investigations. Reach out to our team by calling (925) 291-5388 to assess your risk and take action before prosecutors step in.

He told me that he hadn't lost a trial in a long time and he didn't want mine to break the streak. I didn't either! We went to trial and he was in control of the courtroom. He was totally prepared. But I was still worried because the prosecutor was very good as well. Daniel was confident but honest. The jury really liked him. As you can tell, he won my case because I am here, writing this review. Thank you.Michael M.
