Dr. Ali Ghasemzadeh, a cardiologist, has had his medical license suspended by the State Medical Board of Ohio. This action follows criminal allegations that he sexually assaulted two patients during medical examinations in June 2025 and July 2026 at his practice in Georgetown.

One of the alleged victims has filed a lawsuit against Ghasemzadeh, accusing him of exploiting patient trust. The lawsuit also claims that his office staff failed to intervene or may have participated in covering up the alleged assaults. Ghasemzadeh's attorney stated that the doctor denies the charges and looks forward to his day in court. The Brown County Sheriff's Office is seeking information from potential additional victims.
