Teal & Montgomery
Attorney who is a medical doctor
Part of our Winning Team

Doctors work very hard and earn a great deal of education and expertise, which is one of the many reasons we trust them with our bodies, our minds, our health and ultimately our lives and the lives of our children and loved ones. Any kind of medical care requires incredible trust on the part of the patient seeking care, and surgery is no exception. Surgeons actually cut into our bodies and expose us to the possibility of medical miracles or great harm. Even the slightest error could be catastrophic.

If you or a loved one has suffered at the hands of a surgeon, you may have a legitimate case for a Santa Rosa Surgical Error. If you feel that your injury is the direct result of medical negligence leading to medical malpractice, you deserve the help of an exceptional legal team. When you are the victim of Santa Rosa Surgical Errors, contact the attorneys of Teal & Montgomery by calling 707-525-1212 or by contacting us online to schedule your initial consultation.

Expectations of Care Providers

When you entrusted your physical health and well-being to a surgeon in a Santa Rosa hospital or clinic, you had every right to expect that physician to extend the utmost care and due diligence in your operation. Every patient has as a reasonable right to suppose the physician will adhere to accepted standards of care when engaging in surgery, such like 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

Regardless of the type of surgery you underwent in California, it is expected that you had a great amount of trust in the doctors who performed the operation accurately — and you anticipated to receive the therapeutic benefits following the surgery.

Instead of the outcome you expected, something happened that was terribly wrong, and now you have more physical obstacles than you had prior to the surgery.

Types of Surgical Errors

There are many kinds of surgical errors that can occur. For example:

  • The doctor may have left a foreign object in your body.
  • The surgeon could have removed the wrong body part.
  • The adjacent body part could have been injured if the surgeon’s knife slipped.

If any of the above occurred, you may now be living with excruciating, agonizing and chronic pain resulting from nerve damage caused by the surgery. Maybe a surgeon did more than you consented to prior to the surgery. For example, maybe your breast augmentation procedure resulted in much larger breasts than you had been led to believe would be the result or the surgeon performed an entirely different procedure than you agreed to.

At Teal & Montgomery, we urge you to contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss a potential medical malpractice claim.
