BOISE, Idaho ââ¬â Police arrested a woman in Idahoââ¬â¢s capital city after they say she impersonated a plastic surgeon and conducted breast exams on at least two women in local bars.
Kristina B. Ross was arrested Tuesday and jailed on accusations of unlicensed practice of medicine.
It all started earlier this month, when Boise police were called to a downtown medical office by employees of a licensed plastic surgeon.
Police say the office was getting calls from prospective patients who wanted to see a Dr. Berlyn Aussieahshowna. But no doctor by that name worked at the office.
Police got contact information for the women who had called, interviewed them ââ¬â and then identified the 37-year-old Ross, who isnââ¬â¢t licensed to practice medicine.
A phone listing for a Kristina Ross in Boise was disconnected.
Detectives say they fear there may be others who had fake exams.
