An Illinois Appellate Court has ruled against William Joel Kafin, a physician and surgeon with offices in Skokie and Glenview, upholding a previous court's decision to strip Kafin of his license after he provided alcohol, smoked marijuana, prescribed controlled substanced and had sex with a 19-year-old former patient, the Glenview Announcements report.
