Doctor's License Revoked Amid 'Peeping Tom' Accusations
A Birmingham-area physician's license has been revoked by the Alabama Medical Licensure Commission.
MONTGOMERY, AL — A Birmingham metro physician's license to practice medicine has been permanently revoked amid accusation of inappropriate conduct. Paul D. Roller is accused of observing or attempting to observe one or more women in their homes without their consent.
“After an investigation, the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners charged Roller with ‘engaging in unprofessional conduct’ and ‘being unable to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to his patients,'” a release from the ABME said. “Those charges were filed before the Medical Licensure Commission along with a petition for the immediate suspension of Roller’s medical license, which was granted. Roller’s medical license has remained suspended since the filing of the administrative charges.”
Roller was employed at SeniorCare Geriatric Healthcare Services.

Roller, 54, turned himself in a year ago at the Jefferson County Jail on two warrants for aggravated criminal surveillance. The warrants came from a case the Homewood Police Department investigated regarding a report of a “Peeping Tom” in the city’s Edgewood neighborhood.
According to law enforcement, Roller was linked as a suspect following the completion of a report, two search warrants and evidence that was collected at the scene.
