DEA Revokes Doctor’s Controlled‑Substance License
The DEA revoked Peter Dashkoff, M.D.'s DEA Certificate of Registration No. FD3660304, effective June 6, 2025, so he can no longer legally prescribe controlled substances. The Order also denies any pending applications to renew or modify his registration and any other pending application for additional registration in the State of Arizona. The record shows he issued four controlled‑substance prescriptions (two morphine Schedule II and two lorazepam Schedule IV) after his Arizona authority lapsed on June 26, 2024.
DEA Action Intended to Deter Prescribing Violations
The Agency explained it revoked the registration in part to deter similar conduct by other registrants and to protect the public from diversion of controlled substances. The decision states the sanction is meant to "send a message to all registrants" that prescribing without state authority is taken seriously.
