Township police want patients of ophthalmologist Matthew Lloyd Burman, to call investigators with information about possible inappropriate physical contact by Burman.
Burman, 64, was arraigned Tuesday in Oakland County Circuit Court in Pontiac on a charge of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a misdemeanor punishable by up to two years in prison and a $500 fine, upon conviction.
The charges were brought following an investigation into an alleged August incident between Burman and a patient at Burman’s office at 10 W. Square Lake Road.
Burman pleaded not guilty and was released on $1,000 bond. His trial is scheduled for May before Circuit Judge Steven Andrews.
Anyone with information about further incidents involving Burman is asked to call investigators at 248-433-7760 anytime.
