In 2019, federal agents arrested Lavern Davidhizar for allegedly prescribing 719,847 narcotic pills to patients since 2017, which they said earned the doctor the nickname “Candy Man.”
Davidhizar was a practicing osteopath who owned and ran Family Medical Clinic in Soldotna. In 2019, federal agents arrested the doctor for allegedly prescribing 719,847 narcotic pills to patients since 2017, which they said earned him the nickname “Candy Man.” Federal officials said Davidhizar’s patients knew they could easily get pain medication from him, The plea agreement doesn’t mention most of those substances.
According to the original charges against Davidhizar, undercover investigators posed as patients with little justification for opioid prescriptions and gave indications of opioid addiction and abuse. Still, the charges said, Davidhizar prescribed them opioids. Davidhizar has agreed to plead guilty in one of those instances, from May 2019. The undercover investigator was prescribed 42 pills of 15-milligram Oxycodone without medical purpose, according to the plea agreement.
A consulting doctor said in the original charges that a review of Davidhizar’s prescriptions shows he made over 11,000 prescriptions for controlled substances in fewer than four years, three-quarters of which were for opioids, which the doctor noted is “very high.” Davidhizar was first licensed by the State of Alaska in 1978, according to the plea agreement. Since the charges, Davidhizar’s license was voluntarily suspended. The parties did not recommend reinstating that license as part of the agreement.
