Joan Rivers' personal doctor, Dr. Gwen Korovin, has denies claims that she took a selfie with the late Fashion Police host when she was under anesthesia before she stopped breathing.
Earlier this week, CNN reported that a member of staff at Yorkville Endoscopy clinic told investigators the doctor took the pic but sources close to Gwen told TMZ that CNN’s source was "making up lies."
Gwen also denies she performed a biopsy on Joan but declined to comment when she was asked whether she previously performed other procedures on Joan. Some patients of the ENT doctor told TMZ that she has an "unblemished record" and is the best ENT in NYC.
on Thursday, Gwen's lawyer issued a statement to CNN regarding the report. It reads:
"Gwen S. Korovin, M.D. is a highly experienced, board certified otolaryngologist. She maintains privileges at one of the city's most prestigious hospitals. She is respected and admired by her peers in the medical community and she is revered by her patients."
"As a matter of personal and professional policy, Dr. Korovin does not publicly discuss her patients or their care and treatment. Further, Dr. Korovin is prohibited by state and federal confidentiality laws from discussing her care and treatment of any particular patient."
"For these reasons, neither Dr. Korovin nor her attorneys will have any public comment on recent press reports regarding her practice. We ask that the press please respect Dr. Korovin's personal and professional policy of not discussing her patients, as well as the privacy of her patients," the statement concluded.
