SAN ANTONIO – A former office manager of a prominent local dermatology practice was sentenced today to 46 months in prison for defrauding a medical practice of nearly $350,000 from patient billings and employee profit sharing accounts.

According to court documents, Patricia Ann Doucet, 74, of Karnes City, defrauded her former employer, the Dermatology & Laser Center of San Antonio. Per the indictment, the medical practice’s owner and operator organized and conducted a non-profit educational symposium on regenerative medicine in San Antonio in 2012.  A bank account was established to collect contributions for the symposium event.  That account was to be closed at the conclusion of the symposium. But Doucet, in her capacity as office manager, kept the account open without permission.
