Jaqyln operated a business called Virtue of Health in Sarasota. The police talked to current and former patients, regarding their treatment at the clinic. The patients have told the investigators that they were treated and diagnosed for various ailments. According to the PCA, many of the diagnosis came from a live blood analysis. The victims told investigators that Jaqyln would prick their finger to draw blood and then analyze the blood sample under a microscope. Then she would diagnose the patient’s condition. Also, she is being accused of conducting “ozone IV therapy”, where she would draw blood, mix it with ozone gas, and reintroduce the blood into the patient via an IV.
Jaqyln is accused of writing prescriptions for her patients under a Dr. Hodges name. Dr. Hodges is the Medical Director for the clinic, Virtue of Health. During his interview with the authorities, he admitted to rarely reviewing the records and knew very little about the medication being prescribed. Hodges has not seen by any of the victims nor was he in the room during their exam by Jaqlyn.
They did search licenses in Florida and could not find any for Jaqyln Tinaro.

SCSO Press Release today 7.7.23
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a local woman for practicing medicine without a license.
On June 28, Jaqlyn Michelle Tinaro, aka Jaqlyn Jacobs, was arrested and charged with four felony counts of Unlicensed Practice of a Healthcare Professional. Tinaro, often referred to as Dr. Jaqlyn, saw patients at the Virtue of Health medical office at 4161 Clark Road. She was known for what she called live blood analysis, where she pricked the patient’s finger and projected the enlarged slide on a monitor to analyze the blood cells for diagnostic purposes and in order to prescribe treatments and medications.
Medical Director for the clinic, Doctor Arthur Hodge, said he was unaware that she was both unlicensed and that she was diagnosing patients via such means. However, he did know that his name was used to prescribe medications, which he described as “IVs and vitamins”. He did not personally meet with any of the patients involved in the case.
Four victims detailed their interactions with Tinaro, where they were each given the “live blood analysis” and various extensive medical tests and treatments, including some or all of the following: Lyme disease testing, ozone intravenous (IV) therapy, medication for parasites and thyroid issues, and custom IV therapy. Tinaro represented herself as a Medical Doctor, always wearing a white lab coat monogrammed “Dr. Jaqlyn Jacobs”. Her patients believed her to be a licensed Medical Doctor.
The Virtue of Health website describes the office as a “wellness center offering integrative and functional medicine”. It also provides a photo of its founder, Jacobs, wearing a white medical lab coat with her credentials noted as an NMD, understood to mean “Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine.” A search of the Florida Department of Health licensing verification found no licenses for any profession under her name or alias.
