Medical director at Virginia nursing home has questionable past
Posted on May 28, 2009
The director of a Virginia nursing home had his privileges suspended in four states and gave false information when he applied for a Virginia medical license in October 1998. He failed to disclose that he had voluntarily surrendered his clinical privileges after being reprimanded by a Louisiana hospital in 1996.
The daughter of a patient who was treated by the doctor, Dr. Lewis A. Rogatnick, has filed a complaint against the facility where her mother was treated by Rogatnick. The daughter, Doris Critzer, was concerned when she found out that Rogatnick’s license had been suspended in four states. He treated her mother, Lorena Virginia Tumblin, for several years at the Heritage Hall nursing home.
Tumblin died in March after being transferred to another facility. In light of the information she learned about Rogatnick, Critzer filed a complaint against the nursing home with the Virginia Department of Health Office of Licensure and Certification.
Rogatnick’s privileges were suspended in Lousiana because of, among other things, his “disruptive and abusive behavior towards nurses, staff and other employees of the hospital”.
