TMB Shareholder V. John Ella was featured as a commentator on a Fox 9 news segment that aired on March 1, 2023. The story concerned a criminal complaint alleging that an individual in Woodbury, Minnesota held herself out as a nurse and worked at a med spa although she had no nursing license and did not go to nursing school. The complaint also alleged that she was injecting patients with Prednisone and charged her with practicing medicine without a license. Mr. Ella explained that regulation of med spas in Minnesota was a legal “gray area” and that falsely holding oneself out as a doctor or nurse was quite “rare.”

Mr. Ella represents physicians, nurses and other health professionals with licensing discipline issues and previously served on the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. He also has extensive experience representing med spas. He can be reached at 612.455.6237 or jella@trepanierlaw.com.
