The doctor also admitted to enlisting another doctor, Mark Chavez, to supply the drug for him, according to the court documents. <\/p>\n<p>After selling the drugs to Perry for $4,500, Plasencia allegedly asked Chavez if he could keep supplying them so they could become Perry&#8217;s &#8220;go-to,&#8221; prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>Plasencia was a physician who owned and operated an urgent care clinic in Calabasas called Malibu Canyon Urgent Care LLC. According to plea documents, Plasencia was introduced to Perry in September 2023 by one of his patients. Plasencia was told &#8220;&#8216;high profile person&#8217; who was seeking ketamine and was willing to pay &#8216;cash and lots of thousands&#8217; for ketamine treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While Dr. Plasencia was not treating Mr. Perry at the time of his death, he hopes his case serves as a warning to other medical professionals and leads to stricter oversight and clear protocols for the rapidly growing at-home ketamine industry in order to prevent future tragedies like this,&#8221; Plasencia&#8217;s attorneys said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>Jasveen Sangha, known as the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/losangeles\/news\/ketamine-queen-jasveen-sangha-pleads-guilty-matthew-perry-death\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;Ketamine Queen,&#8221;<\/a><\/span> who is charged with supplying the drugs that caused Perry&#8217;s death, is expected to be sentenced on Dec. 10. In August, Sangha previously pleaded guilty to three counts of distribution of ketamine, one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury and one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises.<\/p>\n<p>Chavez is expected to be sentenced on Dec.17 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a
