King West Optical Optician Arrested

[Golfnorth]

Unbelievable ! The College of Opticians of Ontario still has not brought this matter to discipline . Not even a hearing is scheduled so it seems . It is 2011 now and the incidents occurred back in 8 / 23 /2007 according to the College web site . That's 4 years now of sitting .

License is still listed as current and active .

Reminds me of the Great Glasses delays . No license suspension for years. They just let it go on in spite of the judges calling the operation a sham and there being many,many infractions . How long did it take them to schedule hearings in that case ? How many years did it take for them to suspend that license ? How many more years did it take to revoke that license ?

Now it looks like history will repeat itself again .If thats is true we only have another 3 to 4 years to wait .


Is it reasonable to take 4 years and more to deal with this ? How would a Registrar and Council justify & explain this to the membership ?

So what did our College say about this issue when you contacted them about it?

Best you call the Registrar , President, and the Ottawa Rep yourself and have lots of other members do the same . Pressure them at CE meetings . You have to experience it first hand . Go to the COO web site and search the public registry on the names you know , then look to see if there are discipline proceeding s and click on "details" . Note if the license is current and active. Do a Wikpedia search . Call the Ministry of Health and ask them why this is so old and how many more ?

ASk yourself how long it took for then to suspend the Bergez license never mind revoke it. In that case how many Ontario Court judges had already ruled against him ? Yet COO delayed and delayed and delayed for years . In fact in spite of all the documented infractions our Registrars kept renewing his license. You can'
t suspend or revoke a license that is not current and active . Does that tell you a story ? It cost us a cool million and a half while they delayed.

Well start asking questions yourself personally . Call them on it . Call each of the President , Registrar and the ICRC peoiple . Form your own opinion. And our Associaiton , LOL, where are they ?

I will ask you once again,"What did our College say to you about the Adam Plimmer lack of action when you contacted them?"

All I know is what I see on their web site. Under DISCIPLINE it says there are no hearings scheduled. Under other areas it only says "pending" . Under dates it says since 2007 .

Maybe that is reasonable , what do you think ?

Well I think that you are very passionate about this subject. Passionate enough to post your thoughts on this site but not enough to phone yourself. You also tried to get me to phone but I can't figure out that if it's such an issue to you why you haven't contacted our College yourself?

Not maybe,but definitely!

I agree maybe Silverman needs to dig further into this . He might want to ask the regulatory body why 4 years has passed now and there is still no hearing scheduled.

I heard Jay Hakim, who sits on the board, was one of Kind West's suppliers. Could that have something to do with it?

Reference was made to taking extra care everything is correct and done proper. Great glasses took years for them.

This would have to be because of new allegations....not the ones from 2007. I wonder what he did this time?

Not necessarily. If you look at other Discipline Finding documents posted on the College website, you'll see that the time between infractions and disciplinary committee hearings numbers in years, not months.

Under his registration info the referral date to discipline was indeed 08/23/2007.

Also shows under his registration info an "Administrative Suspension" from May to Sept 2009. What is that? Took a break?

[NorthStar]

For the incident against Mr. Silverman at his King West store in Feb. 2007, convicted of assault Nov. 2008: he was a no-show at his hearing - 5 month suspension starting Oct. 25, 2013, mandatory courses in ethics, ect. and $10K. The information from the court documents reveal a few more disturbing details than the media coverage that made national and US news in 2008.

Someone has been a busy beaver deleting his last 5 posts on this thread this morning.
He has even deleted posts from more than 2 years ago this very morning.
I find that very odd indeed.

That is odd even for idispense. They weren't offensive, just the usual college bashing - ooohh....

The only thing that I can think of is that he must have taken a job with The College of Opticians and he's doing a cover-up!
