Physicians and Other Medical Professionals
The disciplinary process for doctors usually begins with either a letter of self-report from the physician or a complaint from a patient, co-workers, employer, employee, colleague, partner or angry spouse. Negative peer review determinations, malpractice claims and the filing of criminal charges or a criminal conviction can also trigger an investigation into physician misconduct and alleged violations of the Medical Practice Act. It is wise for a physician to obtain legal counsel as soon as they become aware an investigation has been opened. If you receive such a letter or complaint, our Firm and its experienced attorneys can assist you.
