A year back my father (69yrs old) visited us at Los Angeles USA for the first time from India, who is having one eye and second one is lost in an accident 15 yrs back. After staying here for a month, his vision wen blurred. I had taken him to Walmart vision center, the doctor advice me to go to Eye Specialist (retina). We immediately went to Retina Specialist at Los Angeles, doctor (Indian) did not accept his travel medical insurance(taken in USA). He asked 1200 dollars for the treatment. We are so tensed and agreed to pay the amount request. The whole day we waited and in the evening he gave some injection into the eye and asked us to follow up after a week.
He (Doctor) says everything is fine and started telling about his friends some medical business(in India) and asked me to look for some graduates. I asked him the specifics of the business, he is never clear on what the business is about. Everyweek at night (after 10PM) he calls and talks about his friends business deviating from eye treatment. This continued with two more follow-ups. No one asked or raised about follow up fee, since this is part of treatment paid in advance. One night he called me to come for a meeting at Wyndham hotel city of Industry CA. We went there and realized that he is trying to pull me into Amway type business. Next day he called me and asked me to join. I told him that he lied about the business, my reputation towards my friends came due down due to the e-mail he wants me to send for recruitment. Clearly mentioned that I am not interested. As per the last conversation he desperately want to be a millions by any mean. My father went back as the Visa got over without any improvement in vision. He went to a specialist in India and under going treatment blood pressure and eye. After a month he left to India, some from doctors place called and asked my father, she said my father owes some 300 dollars. Told her that he left to India and doctor is aware of his schedule and we paid the full treatment amount in advance as per the charge mentioned. Their send three mail (one mail / month) addressing to my father. As he is not here, return the mails to from address.
What can be done for not receiving these mails to my address?. Can doctor use treatment time for other matters?. We have to pay whatever their demand, pretty sure these mails are send since I did not join the business. My father is not aware of these mails, did not mention due to blood pressure and he cannot pay,
Please advice me in this regard.

Tear up any future bills. Nothing will happen. If he continues to harrass you, report him to the Medical Board/

Returned all mails, today someone from legal department called and left a message. She says going to send a copy, eventhough I told this person is not staying here anymore.
What actions can I take?. Can you please provide someone information on medical board. This is becoming pain in my life.
