A Morris County neurologist has been temporarily suspended from practicing medicine in New Jersey as state officials move to revoke his medical license over alleged violations tied to prior sexual misconduct restrictions.
According to a statement released by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, neurologist Jonathan Fellus of Randolph was suspended after investigators determined he failed to comply with strict conditions placed on his license following earlier disciplinary action.
State officials allege Fellus violated a 2018 consent order that required him to have a chaperone present during visits with female patients.
That restriction was imposed after his license was previously revoked due to an improper relationship with a patient and later reinstated under strict safeguards.
Investigators say Fellus attempted to evade the chaperone requirement by falsely claiming he treated female patients at a New York location, where his license is not restricted, and allegedly contacted patients to discourage cooperation with the investigation.
Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said the alleged conduct raised serious concerns about patient safety and trust, prompting immediate action by the state.
Fellus agreed to the temporary suspension under an interim consent order filed January 14, 2026.
The order bars him from treating New Jersey residents, supervising medical staff, serving as a medical director, or collecting fees connected to medical services in the state while the case proceeds.
The Board of Medical Examiners will determine whether Fellus’s license will be permanently revoked following a full hearing.
