PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Department of Health has revoked the medical license of Dr. Steven Pezzullo, 62, formerly of Pawtuxet Valley Urgent Care in Coventry, after finding merit to a complaint of sexual misconduct filed by a 70-year-old woman.
An investigation concluded Pezzullo had "touched her breasts inappropriately during a stethoscopic examination and had partly lowered her pants without informing her before doing so, and as such, he is an immediate danger to the public if he were allowed to continue to practice medicine at this time."
The woman went to the clinic with symptoms of bronchitis or pneumonia. She reported Pezzullo's examination was "unnecessary because a chest x-ray had already been taken and had revealed the cause of her symptoms."
