Mary Bubala Reporting

(WJZ) Baltimore, MD A prominent Baltimore County doctor has been suspended from practicing medicine after a criminal investigation unveiled he allegedly traded drugs for sex.

Nationally known pain specialist Dr. Nelson Hendler was suspended from practice after the Maryland Board of Physicians issued an emergency order. The order accused Hendler of handing out painkillers without prescriptions, failing to maintain his office in a clean and sanitary condition, and sexual misconduct with three patients.

One of the alleged victims has now filed a $5 million malpractice suit against Hendler. The victim's attorney spoke to WJZ's Mary Bubala about the lawsuit. "Between the combination of sexual abuse and the reckless handing out of pain medication this woman suffered, as did her husband," said Marvin Ellin.

Last month Baltimore County police raided the Mensana Clinic on Greenspring Valley Road, where Hendler served as the director of the residential treatment facility. They seized more than 5,000 tablets, including oxycontin and morphine, as well as three guns and computer equipment.

Hendler founded the clinic in 1978 and according to his website, the Mensana Clinic treats patients suffering from chronic pain. The website even takes viewers inside the mansion where the clinic is located to show them the residential treatment rooms.

The center, which is not licensed by the state, is now temporarily closed.

His license was suspended after the Maryland Board of Physicians accused him of sexual improprieties with three patients and handing out painkillers without proper prescriptions
