A York Region man is facing charges after allegedly impersonating a medical practitioner and issuing fraudulent prescriptions.

Police said that they began looking into the matter on Dec. 16 when a victim came forward to report that they had “experienced significant health problems” after receiving treatment at a medical spa in the area of Hollandview Trail and McMaster Avenue in Aurora.

Investigators said they subsequently learned that the suspect was impersonating licensed medical practitioners and issuing prescriptions that were not applicable to the victim’s health issues.

Georges Tsakiris, 65, of the Township of King, has been charged with 11 offences, including assault causing bodily harm and two counts of forgery.

Police say that they believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.
