Wake up, Doctors! This could be you. Drs. Milind and Suwarna Tilak, a husband and wife team in Jacksonville, FL were raided October, 2017 and their constitutional rights were violated.
Milind Tilak, MD has been providing pain management procedures for more than 15 years, more than 10 of which were in the Jacksonville area. He is board certified in Internal Medicine as well as Pain Management through the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians. He has jumped through all the hoops for proof of competency in prescribing controlled substances, passing the competency exam with distinction. He uses interventional pain management with fluoroscopy including disc procedures, epidural injections, nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation, and peripheral joint injections. He attends conferences regularly to keep abreast of the latest techniques. He is also certified to prescribe Suboxone for narcotics addiction, which is additional certification over the standard DEA certificate. As an internist, he also provides routing internal medicine care.
His wife, Suwarna Tilak, MD, is a pediatrician. They have an in-house lab, and are able to conduct various other procedures such as spirometry, Holter monitor, and EKGs. They have a very nicely designed website shown here: http://www.drtilak.com/. Everything about their practices reflects good, appropriate management. Basically, for some reason, they are simply the next government target for the middle district of Florida.
Why would the government target them? The middle district has been a major government targeting area for about 10 years.

Jacksonville has not been a major area. But as more doctors jump into copping pleas early, and the US Attorney’s offices now have cookie cutter prosecution strategies with more people hired to target doctors, more doctors are being set up to take the knife.
Why the Tilaks?
- They are independent.
- They are minority.
- They offer services that are in competition with the government-supported area hospitals.
- Possibly they have money or assets that the government can confiscate.
- They should be easy—the low-hanging fruit.
One of the problems we face in this War Against Doctors is that the media only publishes the government propaganda. The day after News4Jax released the story about the raid, three organizations supporting doctors with facts and the truth about these attacks presented press releases to anchor Jenese Harris, the station itself, Florida Times-Union, Financial News & Daily Record, Metro Jacksonville, and The Florida Star. But have any of those press releases been published? Of course not! Because we speak the truth, and not propaganda—which doesn’t interest the media.
The second problem is that doctors have misunderstandings about what is happening. These include:
- The doctors under attack think that because they aren’t doing anything wrong, the government will admit their mistake and life will go on. WRONG!! They usually find themselves destitute and in prison.
- Other doctors in the area think that there are possibly justifiable reasons for the attack, because they don’t know the law.
Well, my purpose is to tell you the truth and expose the illegal actions of the government in these attacks against good, caring physicians.

Addendum:
The case was settled Sept, 2018 for a monitary reimbursement. Dr. Milind Tilak appears to be in practice at his office in Middleburg, FL. Dr. Suwarna Tilak also appears to be back at work.
Addendum from the author:
I have failed in my mission to end these attacks on doctors and pain patients. Through John Bevere’s book The Bait of Satan, I have figured out why—my lack of forgiveness to those who attacked me. As in Mark 11: 24-26:
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
And when you do not do the will of the Father, you are estranged from him and he will ignore you. So we all must forgive the agents who attacked us in order for things to be made right through any of our works.
Jesus said
“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
But we cannot lay down our lives for God unless we know Him well enough to trust Him. We must have the assurance that He would never do anything to harm us. He always looks out for what He knows is in our best interest. As a nation, those of us suffering from these attacks must understand that we are serving as God’s messengers of love. We must forgive those who persecute us and love them instead, following God’s will for us. Then and only then will we see fruits from our labor.
So I hope that everyone who has suffered from what happened to the doctor can trust the Lord, forgive those who have hurt you, and help bring this country back to the God-fearing country that our forefathers founded. Then, and only then, can you be a part of the effort to stop these attacks. I look forward to that day.
Linda Cheek is a teacher and disenfranchised medical doctor, turned activist, author, and speaker. A victim of prosecutorial misconduct and outright law-breaking of the government agencies DEA, DHHS, and DOJ, she hopes to be a part of exonerating all doctors illegally attacked through the Controlled Substance Act. She holds the key to success, as she can offset the government propaganda that drugs cause addiction with the truth: The REAL Cause of Drug Abuse.
