Comment on Federal drug agents review Milbridge doctor’s narcotic prescribing practices

A Washington County doctor has come under the scrutiny of federal drug enforcement agents because of her history of inappropriate prescriptions of methadone and opioids and failure to keep appropriate records. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration executed an administrative warrant at Dr. Cathleen London’s office in Milbridge on Feb. 15 after she refused to allow agents to examine her narcotic prescription records without one. The administrative warrant allows the DEA to examine and copy documents, inventory stocks of controlled substances and, if necessary, seize them.
