State: Eye doc performed needless surgeries

The state suspended the medical license of a Manhattan eye doctor Thursday, charging that he performed unnecessary laser eye surgeries on six patients, the same day the state was again called to task for how it disciplines doctors.

Dr. Martin Ehrenberg, a board-certified ophthalmologist with offices in Manhattan and Great Neck, faces 32 charges of medical misconduct -- including gross negligence -- for treatments he administered from 1998 through late 2006, according to documents.
