An Iselin-based health clinic that used to be run by one of the most pro-medical marijuana doctors in the state — and who also had his medical license suspended last month — is still open to treat patients. It just has a new medical director and has been rebranded with a new name.
The doctor's office formerly called NJGReenMD is now Garden State Integrative Medicine. The clinic is still located at 2 Austin Avenue in Iselin. It used to be run by Dr. Anthony Anzalone, M.D., a controversial figure in the New Jersey healthcare world. The state Attorney General suspended Anzalone's medical license last month, after accusing him of abusing New Jersey's medical marijuana program. Anzalone, however, maintains he is very proud of the work he's done out of his Woodbridge clinic.
"I am very proud of what we have accomplished over the past seven years," said Anzalone in a statement after his license was suspended. "As the opioid crisis worsens, we have seen over a 50 percent success rate of opioid-addicted patients stop taking opioids, and these patients are now being treated with medical marijuana."
