Re: breast sugery malpractice

Where did the surgery occur? Are you permanently in Florida? As indicated by the other attorney's answer, a surgeon with the exact qualifications of the one who did the surgery will have to testify that the surgeon did the surgery in such a manner that a reasonable surgeon under similar circumstances would not have done. Therefore, it is important that you see a surgeon that will not only give you an opinion, but will testify in your behalf. Many doctors talk big but will not help the patient out in court. Therefore, give me a call Monday to discuss this. I have had 27 years of extensive experience litigating such cases. If you wish to check me out, go to the local library, pull the Martindale-Hubbell reference book for Michgan, look under Southfield and see my rating and experience. William S.

Re: breast sugery malpractice

You need to see another doctor to verify there was a departure from good and accepted practice and this doctor must be willing to testify. It sounds like you do have a malpractice case.
