Despite months of ongoing physical symptoms consistent with ovarian cancer, such as abdominal pain, extreme weight loss, vomiting and fatigue, our client’s primary care physician failed to perform essential imaging and erroneously maintained a diagnosis of ‘gastritis.’ After desperately seeking help from a new primary care physician, our client was promptly evaluated and diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. Our firm obtained a pre-suit near policy limits settlement from the doctor and his practice group after establishing that earlier work-up and diagnosis were required by the standard of care and that the failure to do so left our client with a significantly increased risk of re-occurrence.
