Michigan Primary Care Physician Negligence Attorney

Primary Care Physician Negligence

Doctor negligence or medical malpractice does not occur only in hospitals, it can occur in your doctor's office, in a clinic, or in nursing homes, or anywhere where professional and licensed medical treatment is provided. While doctors are under oath to do no harm, sadly, sometimes they cause injuries and fail to diagnose or treat illnesses because of inattention or carelessness. Delayed diagnoses and wrong diagnoses can prevent a patient from acquiring the medical treatment that he or she needs.

Primary care physicians, such as family physicians or internal medicine physicians, are often the first individuals we see when we are sick or not feeling well. These doctors may fail to refer their patients to specialists for medical attention that is beyond their expertise, or they may fail to order the proper tests needed to make the correct diagnosis. They may also neglect to follow-up on a test result or x-ray, MRI or CT study that has shown a treatable abnormality.
