A Santa Monica, California, doctor in the United States who promoted a controversial menopause therapy on the Oprah Winfrey Network and received testimonials for her work from celebrity patients such as model Cindy Crawford and actress-author Suzanne Somers, has been disciplined by California’s medical board for gross negligence.
In a settlement approved in August 2018, the Medical Board of California put Dr Prudence Hall on probation for four years, faulting her for being “unaware” of potential risks posed by the plant-based hormones, including cancer, and for not monitoring her patients properly.
