State suspends licenses of two Palm Beach County doctors over pill violations

Two Palm Beach County doctors were among 10 who had their licenses suspended Wednesday by the Florida Department of Health.

Dr. Donald B. Bletz, of Boca Raton, and Dr. Cesar Augusto DeLeon, of Boynton Beach, both received emergency suspension orders, according to a statement released Wednesday.

Bletz is accused of inappropriately prescribing controlled substances, failing to adequately keep patient medical records and failing to practice medicine without the level of care recognized in general law.

According to the statement, DeLeon acknowledged violating state statutes when he pleaded guilty this year to knowingly and intentionally distributing oxycodone without a legitimate medical purpose.

Both doctors are entitled to a hearing before final action is taken.
