· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
According to federal records, rheumatologist Zamora-Quezada was transferred on May 19 to a community confinement program under the supervision of the San Antonio Residential Reentry Office. The doctor was found guilty in 2025 of a fraud scheme that, according to federal authorities, involved the unnecessary diagnosis and treatment of thousands of patients for the purpose of making millions in profit. However, at the time of sentencing, he was credited with over seven years as he had already been in custody prior to the trial for the 10 years imposed. In addition to the prison sentence, Zamora-Quezada will serve three years of supervised release as part of his sentence. Federal authorities noted during the judicial process that the scheme caused physical, emotional, and financial harm to numerous patients who underwent unnecessary treatments and procedures.
