"He’s been my doctor for 15 years. He made me feel better," Gloria Sera told KTLA. "He was from Iran, and I don’t know if he was telling me the truth, but last time I came, he said he had just gotten married."
An online biography for the doctor on the Detox Woodland Hills website says he had "over two decades of experience providing urgent and emergency care." He had "over 10 years of experience in addictionology."
"He has helped thousands of patients achieve their goal of having a sober life," the bio says. "His patients include celebrities, movie stars, athletes and many people of different walks of life."
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the LAPD at (877) LAPD-247.
