Dr. Arnold Klein formerly took Michael Jackson to the staff next door to his -- sprint by a gynecologist focusing in vaginal innovation to achieve a slight acne treatment on the singer under full anesthesia.
When we spoke with Dr. Harvey Richmond who told us ... around 2003, Dr. Klein asked him if he could use Richmond's surgery center in his office to perform a procedure on Jackson.
Dr. Richmond says, per Klein's request, he got an anesthesiologist and a scrub tech who worked on Jackson.
Dr. Richmond says he found it "odd" that Dr. Klein performed "some sort of acne treatment" with full anesthesia. Dr. Richmond says he believes the anesthesia used was Propofol, the same drug that may have killed Jackson.
Dr. Richmond says the 2003 procedure was the only time Dr. Klein used his office for Jackson.
And there's this -- Dr. Richmond says Jackson stiffed him on the bill, eventually only paying half after Richmond threatened to take the singer to Beverly Hills small claims court.
