Jorge Zamora-Quezada is a former Texas-based rheumatologist who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for healthcare fraud after operating a nearly two-decade scheme in which he falsely diagnosed thousands of patients with degenerative diseases, leading to unnecessary and harmful treatments. Prosecutors described his actions as one of the most significant cases of patient harm in recent history, as he profited from misdiagnoses while living a lavish lifestyle, which included luxury properties and vehicles.
