Dr. Koulis and Dr. Gold trade charges in asset-sale dispute

Plastic surgeon Dr. Christ Koulis, known to women across the city for his once omnipresent bathroom stall-door advertising, is defending himself against charges made by former business partner and dermatologist Dr. Michael Gold and by two former patients.

His legal troubles first emerged in February in lawsuits filed by two women who claimed that he engaged in inappropriate sexual relations with each of them while they were his patients. One complaint also alleges malpractice stemming from breast augmentation surgery he performed.
