White Plains Professional Lawyers | Wood & Scher | New York City Physician Misconduct Defense Attorneys

Wood & Scher is among the foremost Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) defense law firms in the state of New York. Because we are good at what we do, and because we do it a lot, we have had an extensive number of successful outcomes.

Some of the accusations facing our clients include practicing fraudulently, practicing negligently, practicing while impaired, having been convicted of a crime, overtesting, guaranteeing results, performing procedures that are not medically indicated, and abusing patients.

Doctors sometimes make the mistake of ignoring "the letter," dismissing the charges as absurd. The charges may seem ridiculous, but they must still be responded to, firmly and correctly. This is what Wood & Scher does.

OPMC can take a very ambiguous, very subjective case and get a report from its own "expert," and act as if it has the "full picture" when, in fact, OPMC doesn't have it at all. Sometimes OPMC relies almost exclusively on the opinion of a single, outside "expert" who may simply have an opinion different than yours. The burden of clarification is therefore on you, the physician — together with your attorneys, Wood & Scher.

Extensive Knowledge of the Law

We are obliged to know much more than the rules of professional licensure. We have to be knowledgeable about many medical subspecialties, the way health care organizations work, the way hospitals work and a host of other matters.

When your ability to practice is on the line, you want to turn to the firm with extensive experience — one that knows the law, knows medicine, and knows the OPMC.

Doctors come to us from every corner of the state, from Manhattan and all of New York City, as well as upstate New York and from Long Island to Buffalo. Our attorneys have helped doctors defend themselves in every part of the state.
