Saw him in April regarding an injury to my knee. He said I was fine and didn't need any further treatment. 4 days later I was hospitalized for a week with a massive infection in the knee.

ReplyI was misdiagnosed. He conveyed that he knew what was causing my pain and told me to proceed with an operation that he performed.

Imagine Melanie McLaughlin, Paul Covino or Jenny Graham touching someone inappropriately?  UGGGH....start screaming now...10- 9 - 8 -7....

Wakefield man charged with sexually assaulting man he invited to do work on his home 

James DeVellis, 56, of Wakefield, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of rape and indecent assault and battery in Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn.

The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said in a news release that in April 2020, DeVellis invited the victim, a 21-year-old man with whom he had a previous relationship, to a home he owned in Lexington to complete some needed repairs. 

At some point during the visit, the DA’s Office said, the victim lost consciousness and the defendant allegedly sexually assaulted him. 

According to Boston 25 News, DeVellis is a former orthopedic surgeon who used to work at Excel Orthopedics in Woburn until he surrendered his license in December 2016.

The news station said they have been investigating accounts of teenage boys who say they were touched inappropriately by DeVellis during medical appointments.  Wakefield man charged with sexually assaulting man he invited to do work on his home (msn.com)

 fox 25 says it will "continue to stay on top of the story" which is as poor a choice of words as the Boston Herald on Dr Arif Hussein when the headline read RAPE DOC GETS OFF

For years 25 Investigates has reported on concerns that DeVellis could not face charges due to a loophole in the Massachusetts law that prevents doctors from being prosecuted on many claims of sexual assault and misconduct. It had to do with the consent of patients that often unknowingly give during medical procedures.

District Attorney Ryan and other state lawmakers have been working to close that loophole by saying a doctor can’t get consent for an act if they fraudulently claim it was for a medical reason.
