A Thousand Oaks doctor was arrested at his home Wednesday morning for sexually assaulting one of his patients during a recent appointment at his medical practice.

Detectives arrested Dr. Barry Lefkovitch, 56, at his home in the North Ranch area of Thousand Oaks after an investigation revealed he had assaulted one of his patients during a routine visit at his medical practice on Dec. 13, 2010.

Investigators with the Thousand Oaks Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit and the Medical Board of California executed search warrants at Lefkovitch’s home and medical offices Wednesday morning.

Lefkovitch’s medical practice is part of the Arroyo Oaks Medical Group, which is located at the corner of Lynn Road and Janss Road in Thousand Oaks. He has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years.
