) — Police arrested a third person after several got sick following visits to an unlicensed doctor’s office in the Las Vegas valley.

Police arrested Carmen Corella-Redondo, 32, on Feb. 20.

This was several weeks after the arrests of Ismael Rizo, 54, and Hector Cuba Quintana, 33. Police said the three were providing medical services and prescriptions without proper licensing out of a suite in the 4500 block of West Oakey Boulevard.

The office, located near Arville Street, primarily tended to Spanish-speaking clients without insurance, police said in documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained.

Last September, Metro police received a report of an unlicensed doctor who allegedly caused patients to become ill, documents said. The person making that report said she found the doctor’s office after searching for “natural holistic treatments” for a kidney infection, documents said. The woman then met a person she believed was a licensed doctor.

The doctor treated the woman with an injection and then “she began to feel ill,” documents said. “The unknown ‘doctor’ started to worry and provided [the woman] with a soda and water.” She later “placed drops under her tongue in [hopes] that her high blood pressure would go down.” The woman’s husband later called 911 and paramedics brought her to a hospital.

“[The woman] stated that the ‘doctor’ exited through the back of the business and had all patrons leave and closed the business,” police said.

Police sent undercover employees to the business several times and a “doctor” at the facility gave one of them medication.

In an interview with police, Cuba Quintana said “he was illegally working as a doctor and diagnosing and treating patients and administering injectable,” documents said. Rizo Martinez too admitted he did not have a valid license.

Corella-Redondo faces charges of acting as a medical practitioner without a license, furnishing dangerous drugs without a prescription, possessing schedule III, IV, or V controlled substances, opening or maintaining a place for *****, gift, or use of the controlled substance, and performing health care procedure without a license.

Her next court appearance was scheduled for March 20.

Now police are asking anyone who sought medical care from the three suspects or has information about the incident to contact detectives at 702-828-3243 or to send an email *****@*****.tld. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 702-385-5555, or
