A Houston area practitioner, Dr. Rezik Saqer, has been charged with operating illegal pill mills. Dr.
Saqer runs two pain management clinics in the Houston area. One of Dr. Saqer’s patients was
charged with intoxication manslaughter for a fatal crash that killed a family of four in Montgomery
County, Texas. An investigation into the crash, where oxycodone and valium were found, led
investigators to Dr. Saqer.
When searching Dr. Saqer’s clinic, Integra Medical Clinic, they found illegal quantities of opiates.
Investigators also found evidence that he would pre-sign prescriptions and treatment notes, allowing
his patients to be seen by unlicensed individuals. Dr. Saqer’s license to practice medicine has been
suspended due to this continued practice, on the basis that it poses a risk to public welfare.
