DEA Registration Revoked for Dr. Patel
The DEA revoked Yogesh Patel, M.D.'s Certificate of Registration No. FP8684931, effective March 17, 2025. He can no longer lawfully prescribe, dispense, or handle controlled substances in Colorado, which affects his medical practice and his patients' access to controlled medications.
Pending DEA Applications Denied
The DEA denied any pending applications by Yogesh Patel, M.D., to renew or modify his registration and denied any other pending applications for additional registration in Colorado. This prevents him from restoring or obtaining DEA authority to handle controlled substances in Colorado.
15-Day Reconsideration Window
Dr. Patel may file a properly supported motion for reconsideration of the Agency's findings of fact within fifteen calendar days of the date of this Order by email to the DEA Office of the Administrator. A timely motion gives him an opportunity to dispute the Agency's finding that his Colorado license is restricted.
