Two men operating a Birmingham area business have been arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners said William Timothy Rogers, 53, of Bremen, and Steven Douglas Elliott, 40, of Hoover, were booked into the Jefferson County Jail this weekend on charges following a search warrant at their business, WaveTech Therapy, 2100 Southbridge Pwy., in Birmingham.
The arrests came after a joint investigation by the board, the U.S. Secret Service Birmingham Cyber Fraud Task Force and the Homewood Police Department.
According to its website, WaveTech Therapy offers treatment for erectile dysfunction, chronic pain and neuropathy. The board, which is the state’s regulatory and law enforcement agency overseeing medical practices, says more charges are possible.
“The Alabama Board of Medical Examiners will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to protect patients from the unlawful and fraudulent practice of medicine in this state,” Board Executive Director William Perkins said.
The U.S. Secret Service Birmingham Cyber Fraud Task Force is made up of investigators from the U.S. Secret Service, police from Homewood, Mountain Brook, Hoover, Alabaster and Hueytown, Walmart Global Investigations and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.
