The license of Evan Zimmer, a Miami psychiatrist who’s had previous legal problems involving prostitutes and drug abuse, was suspended by an emergency state order this week after he tested positive in July for cocaine and marijuana.
The Florida Department of Health order noted that Zimmer, 60, “has a significant history of substance abuse” and “an inability to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety.”
Zimmer could not be reached for comment. State records indicate he is board certified in psychiatry and addiction psychiatry with an office in northeast Miami.
