Lazzerini, 43, operated Premier Family Practice on Fulton Drive NW.
He became Ohio's highest prescriber in the state for controlled substances between December 2015 and January 2016, court records show.
Law enforcement raided his office in February 2016 after a lengthy multi-agency probe. Investigators contended Lazzerini was running a pill mill, a term used to describe a doctor, clinic, or pharmacy that is dispensing powerful narcotics inappropriately or for non-medical purposes.
Lazzerini prescribed controlled substances to patients living as far away as West Virginia, and was seeing between 70 to 80 patients a day, a former employee testfied.
In one incident, Lazzerini's patient died in a drug overdose after being prescribed Percocet, fentanyl, Alprazolam and hydrocodone on the same day in August 2014.
