Medical Professionals, in addition to facing the possibility of civil lawsuits alleging medical malpractice, can be required to defend their medical decisions and actions in response to complaints made by individual patients or medical facilities to the Office of Professional Medical Conduct. Should the OPMC reach a liability finding, it possesses the power to issue corrective action ranging from fines to revocation of licensure. These types of proceedings are serious and fraught with anxiety for a medical professional.
We at McHenry & Horan have defended our medical clients from the initial interview stage through the full hearing on complaints made to the OPMC. Our attorneys recognize the seriousness of such complaints and, with our decades-long background in working with clients and experts in all areas of medicine, bring keen insight into the analysis of the issues and the ability to articulate a compelling defense as seasoned trial lawyers. We are proud of our success rate before the OPMC and our ability to offer clients a calm, clear and persuasive defense before this powerful tribunal.
