Fake dentist treated patients, made drugs at crude office, authorities say
SAN CARLOS — A felon has been arrested after purportedly working as an unlicensed dentist and stockpiling drugs and brass knuckles at his “crude” San Carlos office, authorities say.
Joseph Hirsch, 59, is being held in San Mateo County jail on $500,000 bail on suspicion of offenses that include possessing and manufacturing controlled substances, possessing metal knuckles, and possessing ammunition as a felon.
Agents with the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force arrested Hirsch on Tuesday after a three-month investigation that grew to involve state Department of Dentistry investigators, who work under the state Department of Justice.
They served a search warrant at Thermo Dental, in the 600 block of Old County Road, located in an industrial area of San Carlos across from the city’s Caltrain station. The site is flanked by auto-repair shops, textile wholesalers and other warehouse businesses.
