An 18-year-old man of West Palm Beach has been arrested for pretending to be a doctor, and giving medical advice on more than one occasion. Malachi Love-Robinson was arrested yesterday after he performed an exam on an undercover officer.
Love-Robinson practiced in a physicians’ building across from West Palm Hospital, where he called his practice “New Birth New Life Holistic and Alternative Medical Center & Urgent Care.” There is no word on who rented the suite and how much rent cost monthly, but the fake practice had reportedly been active since January 26th. Love-Robinson allegedly recruited patients from a fake Facebook profile and website, where he claimed to be a 25 year-old with a Ph.D.
This is not Love-Robinson’s first offense of falsely practicing medicine. A year earlier, Love-Robinson was spotted at St. Mary’s Medical Center walking the halls wearing a white coat and a stethoscope. It is also reported that Love-Robinson was issued a cease-and-desist order back in October after allegedly operating another fake practice near Boynton Beach.
