Obstetrician/Gynecologists (OB/GYN) are known as “Baby” doctors or “Women’s Health” doctors. OB/GYN doctors treat women and pregnancy related issues. Cases involving OB/GYNs can include a variety of issues including:
The female anatomy has been the topic of more than just a few books. Obstetrician/Gynecologists (OB/GYN) have a legal duty to understand a wide variety of women health issues and not perform procedures or give medical advice unless it is done so in accordance with the appropriate medical standard of care.
What we, the medical malpractice attorneys at Flaherty Fardo have experienced is that some, and we stress, some OB/GYN doctors do not have the same attention for detail as others. To some doctors, it is simply a ‘job’, and they treat the patients as though they are a number or a ‘means to an end’ rather than a patient.
What has surprised us most, is the number of OB/GYNs that will make important health related decisions for women, about their bodies and their health, without letting the patient participate in that very important decision making process.
We have tried several cases involving Obstetrician/Gynecologists where women have had enormous medical decisions made without any discussion between the doctor and patient, including most commonly hysterectomies. It is unconscionable that a physician would remove a women’s uterus in a non-emergent situation without a full discussion and consent from the patient first.
On the other hand, we have had clients who adore their doctors. More than any other medical specialty, we believe Obstetrician / Gynecologists have the greatest difference or spectrum among their bedside manners.
The unfortunate reality is that thousands of women across the United States are injured every year by the medical negligence of their Obstetrician / Gynecologist. As a direct result, these women may experience permanent unreasonable scars, illness, injury or even death. In addition, there are often serious emotional scars.
If you have legal questions about a women’s health related matter, let our attorneys and physicians review your case.
Our malpractice attorneys have extensive experience in settling cases and in trying cases related to a common procedure known as a D&C (dilation and curettage). D&C is a procedure which involves scrapping the uterus lining and can be used for a variety of purposes, including removal of fibroids, the relief of excessive uterine bleeding and the removal of tissue after a miscarriage.
D&C is a common, yet sensitive procedure and many women are injured as a result of it. We have had clients whose uterus and bowel were perforated because the Obstetrician / Gynecologists (OB/GYN) were simply to aggressive and/or rough during the procedure. There are risks to any procedure, and in this, perforations to the uterus and/or bowel are a known risk. However, that does not mean that doctors can avoid their requirement to uphold the appropriate medical standard of care.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
