Demesvar A. Jean-Baptiste

Three doctors had their medical licenses suspended today by the state Board of Medical Examiners, due to criminal charges pending against them.

Demesvar A. Jean-Baptiste, 38, a weight-loss surgeon from Watchung, had paid to park at a house near the Plainfield Country Club in Edison to attend The Barclays on Aug. 23. But prosecutors allege he went to the wrong house, forced his way in, and then threatened to kill everyone inside. Jean-Baptiste was charged with making terroristic threats, third-degree aggravated assault and second-degree burglary — but he had already been subject to board monitoring from an April reprimand stemming from "improper social behavior at a party" as well as billing improprieties at his practice, according to board records.

Two other doctors were also suspended. They are:

• Eugene Demczuk, a 66-year-old internist from Livingston, charged last month with distributing Oxycodone without a legitimate medical purpose and conspiracy to distribute the drug. He allegedly gave an undercover FBI agent prescriptions for $150 apiece, without conducting a physical examination.

• Priscilla Ilem, an 84-year-old psychiatrist from Wayne, charged last month with issuing prescriptions for Oxycodone without a legitimate medical purpose.

Wayne police say she wrote hundreds of prescriptions for Oxycodone and other drugs without conducting examinations, in exchange for cash payments.

All three doctors voluntarily agreed to the suspensions, which will remain in effect until further board action, according to a spokesman for the state Division of Consumer Affairs. Both Demczuk and Ilem’s suspensions began on Sept. 8. Jean-Baptiste’s will begin on Sept. 23. None of the three could be reached for comment.

"These physicians could not be permitted to continue to practice medicine and interact with patients, given the serious nature of the charges pending against them," said Attorney General Paula T. Dow.

None of the doctors could be reached for comment today.
