Southern California man charged with impersonating a doctor, performing cosmetic procedures on women

LOS ANGELES — An Orange County man was charged this week with multiple felonies for allegedly impersonating a doctor and performing unlicensed cosmetic procedures on women, a majority of whom were Spanish-speaking.

Elias Renteria Segoviano, 61, was charged with one felony count of the unauthorized practice of medicine, one felony count of false indication of a medical license, and one felony count of perjury, the Orange County district attorney’s office said in a news release Thursday.

The district attorney also charged Segoviano with four misdemeanors: one count of misrepresenting himself as a licensed medical practitioner, one count of representation of license not issued to him, one count of misrepresentation of qualifications, and one count of impersonating a professional nurse or pretending to be licensed to practice nursing.
