California disciplines psychiatrist Cecil Bradley

March 1, 2007

On March 1, 2007 the Medical Board of California ordered disciplinary action on psychiatrist Cecil Bradley's license for unprofessional conduct consisting of: violating or attempting to violate Chapter 5 of the California Medical Practice Act; Gross Negligence; Repeated Negligent Acts, Incompetence and the commission of any act involving dishonesty or corruption which is substantially related to the qualifications, functions, or duties of a physician. Dr. Bradley treated a nurse who was seeking to enter a Board Diversion Program (for substance abusers) due to recent treatment for dependency on pain medications. His treatment of her over two and a half years included prescribing substances for which the patient had a history of abuse; failure to address patient's use of over the counter medications, despite history of abuse; creating antagonism to the patient's diversion program; prescribing a stimulant in absence of a clinical indication and despite history of abuse and prescribing a Schedule II stimulant for a diagnosis of “ADHD” without a documented work up to support the diagnosis and despite history of stimulant abuse. His license was revoked, stayed, and placed on five year's probation with conditions.1

I had Dr.Bradley in 1998. I am so surprise he is still at Mission Oaks in San Jose, Ca. We had a group class with him and he swore at all of us for no reason. I couldn't believe this! He also was my psychiatrist there. He was not friendly at all. I think he even messed up my medication. He put me down so much! I just wanted to get out of Mission Oaks. He was very rude to me and many others. His license should be taken away before he in dangers someones life or make a person even more depressed.
