When Does Unnecessary Surgery Constitute Medical Malpractice?

 

Whether unnecessary surgery was medical malpractice really turns on whether or not your doctor or surgeon was negligent. Doctors owe their patients a duty of care. They must exercise the level of care and skill comparable to another health care provider who practices in the same or similar specialty. When a medical provider fails to provide this level of care, it leads to things like unnecessary surgery and a medical malpractice claim.

 

Unnecessary surgery medical malpractice cases often have origins in a doctor misdiagnosing a patient. A doctor may have failed to exercise due care in evaluating the patient’s symptoms as well as taking into account all relevant and objective medical findings and it led down the path to an unnecessary surgery taking place. The unnecessary surgery may also have been the result of a doctor failing to recommend less invasive measures to remedy a health concern. If there were other viable treatment options available, but your doctor failed to present them to you, this may also suffice as grounds for a medical malpractice claim.

 

If your doctor provided substandard medical care, and you suffered through an unnecessary surgery as a result, the dedicated medical malpractice attorneys at Fazli & Associates are here to get you the monetary damages to which you are legally entitled.
