State Medical Board Investigating Lexington Doctor

{Lexington, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure launched an investigation Monday into the "prescribing practices" of Dr. Najam Azmat, a doctor at Lexington Algiatry, a walk-in pain management clinic on North Broadway in Lexington. Doug Wilson, an investigator with the board, says the investigation stems from numerous grievances which describe suspected inappropriate prescriptions of controlled substances. Wilson says the complaints came from other physicians who questioned the high number of prescriptions their patients have received from the clinic. Residents also have complained about the high number of visitors who seem to be from out of the county or from other states.
