Drs. Elisa Alvarado and Robert Siew are facing allegations from the California Medical Board that they negligently prescribed painkillers and other potentially dangerous narcotics to patients.
Two Pasadena doctors are facing allegations from the California Medical Board that they negligently prescribed painkillers and other potentially dangerous narcotics to patients. Officials are seeking to revoke or suspend the medical licenses of Dr. Elisa Cuellar Alvarado and Dr. Robert D. Siew, according to two separate accusations filed this year. Both doctors practice internal medicine and are permitted to see patients at Huntington Hospital, according to their bios.
The Medical Board accused Siew of gross negligence related to the care of six patients, repeated negligent acts, excessive prescribing, failing to to maintain adequate and accurate medical records, and failing to review patients' controlled substance history using a state database before writing them prescriptions, according to a petition filed in January. The allegations against Siew, who has been licensed since 1988, stemmed from patients he treated between 2013 and 2022.
