Morris County Neurologist Temporarily Suspended, Allegedly Violated Prior Sexual Misconduct Order

State officials allege physician violated conditions tied to prior sexual misconduct case, prompting emergency suspension and renewed disciplinary action.

A Morris County neurologist has been temporarily suspended from practicing medicine in New Jersey while state regulators pursue revocation of his medical license, citing alleged violations of restrictions imposed after a prior sexual misconduct matter.

New Jersey Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs announced Feb. 6 that neurologist Jonathan Fellus agreed to an interim suspension of his license while the State seeks permanent disciplinary action before the New Jersey Board of Medical Examiners.

“Patients place a great deal of trust in their medical providers, and allegations that a physician has repeatedly exploited that trust and subjected multiple women to inappropriate sexual conduct are extremely concerning,” said Acting Attorney General Davenport.

According to the State, Fellus is accused of failing to comply with conditions set forth in a 2018 consent order that allowed his medical license to be reinstated after it had previously been revoked. That earlier revocation stemmed from what officials described as an improper relationship with a patient. As part of his reinstatement, Fellus agreed to multiple safeguards, including a requirement that a chaperone be present when he treated female patients and a prohibition on social contact with them.

State regulators now allege that Fellus sought to evade those requirements. The Verified Complaint asserts that he attempted to conceal noncompliance by claiming female patients were seen at a New York location, where his medical practice was not subject to the same restrictions. Investigators further allege that Fellus contacted female patients in an effort to discourage their cooperation with the Board’s inquiry into his compliance with the chaperone requirement.

Fellus primarily practiced at Advanced Neurocare in Randolph, according to the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In an Interim Consent Order filed Jan. 14, 2026, Fellus agreed to the temporary suspension of his New Jersey license pending a full hearing and further action by the Board. The order also bars him from serving as a medical director at any Complete Wellness Spa or other medical practice in New Jersey.

Under the interim terms, Fellus is prohibited from treating New Jersey residents at any location, whether inside or outside the state, until the conclusion of a full trial or further order by the Board. He is also barred from supervising health care practitioners in New Jersey or receiving or sharing in fees for professional services rendered in the state after Feb. 4, 2026.

The State is being represented by Deputy Attorney General Daniel Evan Leef Hewitt under the supervision of Section Chief Doreen A. Hafner of the Professional Boards Prosecution Section within the Division of Law. Investigators from the Enforcement Bureau of the Division of Consumer Affairs conducted the investigation, officials said.

State authorities emphasized that the interim suspension is intended to protect the public while the allegations are adjudicated. The matter remains pending before the Board of Medical Examiners, which will determine whether Fellus’s license should be permanently revoked.

Members of the public who believe they have been treated inappropriately by a licensed health care professional may file a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs online or by calling 973-504-6200.
