Santa Rosa Surgical Error Attorney
When you entrusted your health and well-being to a surgeon in a Santa Rosa hospital or clinic, you rightfully expected that doctor to take utmost care in your operation. Any patient has the right to assume that a physician will follow accepted standards of care when performing surgery, such as the following:
- Hernia operations
- Breast augmentation
- Gastric bypass
- Appendix removal
- Gall bladder surgery
- Knee surgery
- Back surgery
- Disc lasectomy
- Caesarean section
- Removal of kidney
- Heart surgery
- Surgery to repair or remove lung tissue
- Surgery to repair or remove
- Bladder surgery to remove cancerous tissue or to treat incontinence
- Rhizotomy
- Spinal fusion surgery
Whatever type of surgery you underwent in California, you most likely trusted the doctors to perform the operation correctly — and expected to experience therapeutic benefits after surgery.
Instead, something went terribly wrong, and now you have greater physical challenges than you had before surgery.
- Did the doctor leave a foreign object in your body?
- Did the surgeon remove the wrong body part?
- Was an adjacent body part injured when the surgeon's knife slipped?
- Are you now living with excruciating, agonizing and chronic pain as a result of nerve damage caused by the surgery?
- Did the surgeon do more than what you had agreed to? For example, was the breast augmentation much larger than you had been led to believe it would be?
- Did the surgeon perform an entirely different procedure than what you had agreed to?
Perhaps your doctor doesn't want to listen to your complaints or tries to brush aside your concerns. Perhaps your insurance company is balking at paying for needed additional surgery. At Teal Montgomery & Henderson, we urge you to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss a potential medical malpractice claim.
