After carrying out verification visits on November 6 and 7, the surveillance staff verified that the office was operating without notice of operation, without a health license and without the academic certification of the staff. He also did not have the title and ID that allow him to practice medical consultation.
So officials placed suspension seals to prevent access to the Neuropsychology: Clinic Marilyn Cote establishment, located in office 1706 of Tower II, Floor 17, in the Angelópolis Medical Towers. He also canceled advertising for the business.
“Cofepris provides support to the state authority so that a resolution is issued for the definitive closure with economic sanction, in addition to promoting a complaint for usurpation of functions,” reported the health authority.
The case of Marilyn Cote went viral on November 5, when a young doctor displayed the false prescriptions on the X account called Medical Charlatans. Cote is a lawyer and a doctor in Psychology, but she falsified documents and photographs to pose as a renowned psychiatrist.
The woman promoted herself as an expert endorsed by the universities of Harvard and Oslo and thus treated people with mental health problems in consultations that cost 1,400 pesos. Even, according to the doctor’s research, in 2017 he received recognition from the Doctoralia platform, a directory of medical specialists.
