Isaac Sved, a 65-year-old doctor from Gainesville, Georgia, has been arraigned on federal charges of conspiracy to possess and distribute controlled substances, maintaining a premises for drug trafficking, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and money laundering.
According to the indictment, Sved, an Atlanta-area physician, registered with the DEA to prescribe controlled substances, including oxycodone, operated two clinics: FamCare in Roswell, Georgia, and Valere Medical PC in Buford, Georgia. He was the sole prescribing physician for both clinics and allegedly regularly prescribed excessive amounts of controlled substances in dangerous combinations.
The indictment alleges that patients received minimal or non-existent medical examinations, evaluation, or testing prior to Sved prescribing them controlled substances such as oxycodone, alprazolam, and carisoprodol. Sved also allegedly falsified patient files to make it appear that the patient had been evaluated on certain dates when, in fact, the patient was not even present at the clinics.
Additionally, the indictment alleges that Sved received large sums of cash from ‘sponsors,’ such as co-conspirator Bobby Lamar Mosley, Sr., who obtained prescriptions for controlled substances from Sved in the names of purported patients, some of whom were never examined. Sved and his associates also allegedly hired security guards armed with firearms to patrol and protect the clinic as part of the illegal operation.
The indictment charges Sved with conspiracy to possess and distribute controlled substances, maintaining a premises for drug trafficking, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and money laundering. The other defendants, Dikla Rosh, 45, of Dunwoody, Georgia, Lucciano Lopez, 27, of Sandy Springs, Georgia, and Bobby Lamar Mosley, Sr., 60, of Buford, Georgia, were also indicted by a federal grand jury on January 9, 2024.
Members of the public are reminded that the indictment only contains charges and that the defendants are presumed innocent of the charges until proven otherwise. The case is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Amy M. Palumbo and C. Brock Brockington are prosecuting the case.
