Former sinus surgeon Mark Weinberger was convicted of 22 counts of health care fraud in northwest Indiana in 2012. Now he’s out of prison and one of his patients says she can’t believe where NBC 5 and Dateline found him and what he’s doing now.
Some told Stafford that Weinberger did too little time in prison and has shown them no remorse for the needless surgeries he performed to fund his lifestyle of the rich and famous.
