Doctor Faces Libel Suit From Former Firm

STUART -- A controversial physicians group headed by a Stuart doctor facing 23 counts of health-care fraud filed suit Tuesday accusing a former doctor employed by the firm of making libelous statements in a wrongful termination suit he filed two weeks ago. The countersuit was in response to a suit filed Oct. 1 by Dr. David Pinzler claiming he was fired Aug. 30 by Monterey Medical Health Services Inc. based on an employment contract that violates state and federal laws.
