Lauderdale Lakes, FL -- A Coconut Creek man is accused of pretending he was a doctor and performing free in-home breast exams.
Authorities say 76-year-old Philip Winikoff told several residents at a Lauderdale Lakes apartment complex that he was a doctor from a North Miami hospital. He apparently carried a medical bag that belongs to his wife, a registered nurse.
A spokesman for the Broward Sheriff's Office says one of Winikoff's alleged victims realized he wasn't a doctor when he didn't use gloves to examine her. The woman's boyfriend called authorities.
Winikoff was arrested yesterday and charged with sexual battery and simple assault.
Authorities believe he targeted women who don't speak English well and women who don't have health insurance.
Winikoff was being held at the Broward County jail this morning on $12,000 bond.
