OBGYN, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center sued by dozens of former patients

LOS ANGELES, October 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A Beverly Hills-based gynecologist has been sued by more than 30 former patients in Los Angeles Superior Court in a case alleging he subjected them to sexual abuse, sexual abuse, gender violence and more while under his care was.

The lawsuit was filed by the law firms Arias Sanguinetti and The DiPietro Law Firm.

The physician was a physician of obstetrics and gynecology for more than 40 years and practiced medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and other medical centers. Recently, however, brave women have come forward to accuse him and the medical institutions he worked under of betraying and betraying their trust. He is accused of various forms of sexual assault, assault and harassment, including:

• Taking care of his patients
• Asking inappropriate questions and making overly sexual comments to patients
• Performing unnecessary serial swabs and inappropriate touching
• Acts of gender violence, including female genital mutilation (“FGM”)
• Performing physical “examinations” without gloves
• Performing unnecessary and unjustified vaginal and rectal examinations
• Unnecessarily interfering with women during childbirth
• Unwanted digital penetration of his patients
• Performing unnecessary breast examinations

“This is disgusting behavior from any doctor, especially an obstetrician,” the lawyer said Mike Arias. “Women were at their most vulnerable when this predatory doctor not only took advantage of them, but committed these heinous acts over and over again. He must be held accountable for his behavior.”

Additionally, he is accused of causing injuries to infants during birth through his dangerous medical procedures. He was labeled ‘Brock the Butcher’ by the medical staff for his insistence on performing traumatic, contraindicated vacuum extractions.

The institutions named in the complaint, including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Beverly Hills OB/GYN and Rodeo Drive Women’s Health Center, are accused of enabling him to violate his oath and harm hundreds, possibly thousands, of women with his grotesque behavior. The complaint accused Cedars-Sinai of having a generations-long history of covering up its serial sexual exploitation.

“We seek justice and accountability on behalf of the women he exploited and abused, as well as the institutions that facilitated his misconduct,” said attorney Anthony T. DiPietro. “He abused women for over forty years, the list of women with significant claims is extremely long, and patients continue to call and report his abuse.”

Arias Sanguinetti has represented hundreds of women to hold midwives accountable for violating their duty as physicians. The company got one $852 million settlement against USC on behalf of 710 women who were sexually assaulted by an OGBYN. The company also helped obtain one $243.6 million settlement for the benefit of surviving relatives of a UCLA gynecologist.

The DiPietro law firm led the civil lawsuits against it Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. These lawsuits have resulted in two verdicts that are more than worthy $250 million in compensation for DiPietro’s clients – the women who were sexually assaulted by a serial predator. Furthermore, the DiPietro law firm helped pass four separate laws New York that provide victims and survivors with a path to justice – including the Adult Survivors Act and the Gender Motivated Violence Act.
