Doctor in laser surgery suits charged with lewdness
By Karen Mahabir
TEANECK - A doctor who was at the center of several lawsuits against Dr. Joseph Dello Russo's high-profile laser eye surgery practice has been arrested on charges of masturbating in a drugstore parking lot.
William T. Kellogg was found slumped in the driver's seat of his 2001 BMW outside a Teaneck Road store Saturday afternoon, said Detective Sgt. Michael Falvey. He was charged with lewdness.
Kellogg, 57, of Summit, posted $5,000 bail the next day and was released from the Bergen County Jail.
Reached at home Tuesday, Kellogg said he had "no comment" regarding the charge.
Although a supervisor at the laser eye center said Kellogg is no longer employed there, Kellogg said he had "no knowledge" of that.
Kellogg was the focus of a lawsuit against the Bergenfield practice that was settled this month. More than a dozen former patients claimed they were treated by Kellogg, who was unlicensed at the time, and had suffered permanent eye injuries. His license was revoked by the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners in 1995, but Kellogg has since been reinstated.
