The inquiry is focused on the Eagle Medical Practice on Alderney in the Channel Islands and is being led by Guernsey Police.
On Thursday they confirmed 10 officers used a search warrant to raid a surgery run by Dr Rory Lyons and a private residential address.
A police spokesman said nobody has been arrested.
"The circumstances which led to this action are that concerns were raised with the Health and Social Services Department (HSSD) following the death of a patient who had been under the care of the Eagle Medical Practice," he said.
"HSSD carried out a preliminary internal investigation, where three further deaths of concern were identified, before referring the matter to Guernsey police. Based on this information we have launched an investigation."
The spokesman added: "This decisive early action was necessary in order to ensure the protection of the public, which is always our primary concern."
