About a few months back my credit score was in the low 600s, I couldn’t get approved for a loan to buy a home or car. I reached out to a credit repair agency that I got referred to by a friend and they removed all the negatives on my credit report and increased my score up to 792. All my inquiries, evictions and school loans were removed. If you also need your credit fixed, reach out to: fixmycredit @ writeme . com.

Although Dr Mines was the doctor of my loved one for a long time, Dr. Mines misdiagnosed my loved one, failing to refer my loved one to a specialist, although she knew that my loved one presented with at least one medical condition that should have warranted a prescribed follow up to a specialist. My loved one saw Dr. Mines regularly during the course of the doctor-patient relationship. It is my understanding that other doctors have referred their patients to specialists when they knew that their patients presented with the clinical symptoms that my loved one had. But Dr. Mines did not do so.
Consequently, my loved one died of a disease/condition that we did not even know that my loved one had until it manifested itself in an unfixable way and the condition was diagnosed by another medical entity. During the course of the doctor patient relationship, Dr. Mines utilized diagnostic tests on my loved one, that are not accepted in the conventional medical field, under the guise of her ordinary monitoring of my loved one's health. These are medical tests for which Dr. Mines has charged several hundred dollars. Yet, these tests, failed to diagnose the condition that my loved one had, and ultimately died from when it exacerbated. From my family's experience with Dr Mines, I warned my loved one about continuing to see her - shortly before my loved one died, when we did not even know my loved one was sick from the condition that my loved one died from. I was concerned about the medical care that my loved one was receiving from Dr. Mines. But I could not convince my loved one to see another doctor, I believe because of Dr. Mines' previous interference. The main reason being that Dr Mines had bad mouthed to my loved one, another patient's relative who confronted Dr. Mines about her medical treatment of that patient which that relative thought was poor. Because of this discrediting of another patient's next of kin, I could not convince my own loved one to stop seeing Dr. Mines or least seek another primary physician. Several months later my loved one died.

She missed a diagnosis evident from markers in several blood tests which she ordered over several years, which another doctor, a specialist, was able to a catch and diagnose. Because of her missed diagnosis, there was a delay in me being able to obtain specialist treatment for this condition. She also claimed to me that she can treat with the same level of expertise certain conditions, that specialists are trained to treat and chided me for going to specialists rather than her and discouraged me from seeking specialist treatment regarding several conditions. She also charged me to discuss blood test results, when other doctors in other practices don't charge me to go over the blood tests or other diagnostic tests that they take. In my opinion and experience, she is more focused on the business side of her holistic practice as it concerned me in terms of profits, which sacrificed her actual practice of medicine. I don't trust her medical judgement because of her missed diagnosis.

PHYSICIAN AND HUSBAND SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT
FOR FILING FALSE INCOME TAX RETURNS

Greenbelt, Maryland - Thomas M. DiBiagio, the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland, Vicki S. Duane, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service (Criminal Investigations) and Martin S. Malarkey III, Territory Manager of the Internal Revenue Small Business/Self Employed Division; Lynne A. Hunt, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation ; Michael E. Little, Regional Inspector General, Department of Health and Human Services; and Joseph A. McMillan, Special Agent in Charge, Mid-Atlantic Region, Defense Criminal Investigative Services (DCIS) announced that on March 4, 2002, United States District Judge Alexander Williams Jr. sentenced Dr. Sakiliba Mines, age 49, of Garland Avenue in Silver Spring, Maryland to 21 months imprisonment following his conviction on federal income tax charges. Judge Williams also sentenced Dr. Mines' husband, Charles E. Mines Jr., age 52, of Silver Spring, Maryland to 21 months in prison for the same offenses. The Mines were convicted of the tax charges following a jury trial in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland in November 2001.

Dr. Mines was a physician licensed to practice medicine in the District of Columbia and Maryland. Beginning it at least 1991, Dr. Mines practiced medicine as "Dupont Medical Associates," (DMA), a family medical practice located in Washington D.C. Her husband, Charles Mines, was the Chief Executive Officer for Dupont Medical Associates.

The evidence at trial demonstrated that Dr. and Mr. Mines knowingly and willfully failed to file income tax returns in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1998 even though both drew separate, regular paychecks from DMA. Dr. Mines and Mr. Mines did not timely file for tax year 1996 but submitted a return on May 30, 1998 – two days after federal agents executed a federal search warrant at their place of business. Moreover, evidence at trial showed the return to be inaccurate. The tax return filed for tax year 1997 was false in several material aspects though only Charles Mines was charged with the falsity as the primary unreported income involved a separate business he operated known as Alert.

In reconstructing the Mines' personal and corporate tax returns, the IRS did a "bank deposit" analysis of the Mines' personal finances and of DMA. Among the evidence introduced at trial, the government introduced testimony from civil litigation brought by the United States against Dr. Mines in 1996 based on a number of student loans for medical school which Dr. Mines had defaulted on and for which a judgment remains outstanding in an amount close to $1 million. Dr. Mines also defaulted on student scholarship obligations which she was required to repay with service to indigent areas within the United States but never did.

With regard to the IRS testimony, the jury heard about the "reconstruction" of the Mines' tax situation from 1992 through 1998. Though Dr. Mines earned income in 1990 and 1991 while she worked for a private physician, the IRS was not able to complete the calculation of tax loss for those two years because bank records were not available. However, beginning in 1992, the IRS could calculate the tax loss as a result of Dr. and Mr. Mines' failure to file income tax returns in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1998. The statute of limitations prohibited substantive counts for tax years 1992 and 1993. The IRS also "re-calculated" the 1996 and 1997 taxes because both returns were false.

According to the analysis of the IRS, the Mines owed at least $105,654 in personal income taxes. This is the most "accurate determination" of the "tax loss" based on the bank deposit analysis. In fact, the jury heard testimony about the 1990 and 1991 income earned by Dr. Mines (which was paid in the name of her husband's company "Alert") and the fact that DMA regularly received "cash" through "co-pays" and patient payments that were never deposited in a bank account and therefore never captured by the IRS in its analysis. In addition, the corporation, Dupont Medical Associates, which has been operating since at least 1991, had never filed corporate income tax returns and owes at least approximately $184,415 in back taxes for tax years 1994 through 1998 based on gross deposits of close to $2.7 million in insurance company payments for services rendered by Dr. Mines.

In addition to the tax charges, Dr. Mines had been charged in the federal Indictment with health care fraud based on charging the insurance companies for services at a higher level code of service than was actually provided – a practice known as "upcoding." The jury acquitted Dr. Mines on the health care fraud charges.

In addition to the above-mentioned entities, the Office of Professional Management, Office of Inspector General assisted in the investigation.
