Silva’s wife, Kiomy Quintiana, 41, was also arrested. According to investigations, Kiomy, who also does not have a medical license, also performed procedures at the clinic and treated some of the patients who presented complications after undergoing surgery.
Two other clinic employees were arrested by the police: surgical technician Dianne Linda Millan, 52, and anesthetist Fermal Lee Simpson, 74, who, according to investigations, “participated in the botched surgeries knowing that there was no licensed surgeon on site.” . Another employee is on the run.
Port police. St. Lucie reports that it received the first complaints against the clinic, called Cosmetica Plastic Surgery, in May 2022. The establishment reportedly closed its activities last year.
