The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently seeking patients who may have been treated by a woman accused of impersonating a doctor and running several "body scan" clinics across the United States, as reported by Denver7. Mary Blakley, also known as "Dr. Mary," and her husband Floyd "Fred" Blakley reportedly operated these clinics in various states including Colorado, with known activity dating from 2011 to the present day.

According to the FBI, the Blakleys have used numerous names and aliases both for themselves and their business ventures, as detailed by both KKTV and The Denver Post. Mary has been known by various first names such as Marye, Rosemary, and Yvonne, and a slew of last names including Blakely, Blakeley, and Venable among others. Their operation, described by the FBI as a "body scan" business, went under names like Sonic Waves Research and London Bridge Wellness Center.

The list of pseudonyms and false credentials extends back to 2002 when Mary Blakley was accused of posing as a doctor or holding a Ph.D. The FBI's indictment stems from their extensive operation of clinics, with the couple promoting what they called "full-body scans," a practice they marketed under a variety of enterprise names. As The Denver Post reports, these names include Health Scans 4 Life, Health Screenings 4 Life, and several other iterations designed to attract patients seeking healthcare services.
