State records show Baula’s medical license is active and expires in January 2025. The document lists his “primary practice address” as his $1.7 million waterfront home in Gulfport.

Baula reportedly was formally reprimanded by the Board of Medicine in 2003. He was fined $10,000 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service for improperly prescribing medication to an online client to whom he never gave a physical exam, ordered any tests for or provided “an adequate diagnosis,” among other standard of care violations.

At the time, he was working for virtualmedicalgroup.com, a telemedicine outfit which now appears to be defunct.
