Gerald Barnes (physician)

Gerald Barnes (physician)

Gerald C. Barnes (University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1965) is a semiretired orthopaedic surgeon with Kaiser Permanente in Stockton, California.

In the late 1970s an actor, pharmacist, and impostor named Gerald Barnbaum illegally obtained copies of Dr. Barnes' medical license and diplomas, and obtained other personally identifying information about him so he could steal the doctor's identity. Barnbaum, who had changed his last name legally to Barnes, was convicted numerous times for the unlicensed practice of medicine and is currently in federal prison until 2018.
