Doctor allegedly practiced with suspended license

Posted: March 30, 2012

A Pennsauken doctor whose license was suspended in 2001 was indicted by a grand jury last week for illegally continuing to practice medicine, authorities said.

Kevin Lickfield, 50, of Marlton, treated patients as a general practitioner at Lickfield Medical Associates in Pennsauken from fall 2009 to February 2010, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office and Pennsauken police said. He has a medical degree as a doctor of osteopathy.

Lickfield was arrested in 2010 after a former employee reported him to authorities. Lickfield falsely told another physician at the practice that he was getting his license reinstated and could practice under the observation of a licensed physician, officials said.

In 2003, he was convicted of illegally selling prescriptions for powerful painkillers, and he served prison time. In 2008, a federal judge turned down Lickfield's request to terminate his supervised release in an effort to get his medical license reinstated. - Darran Simon
