Settlements

Settlement payments will appear in this profile only if the total number of settlements made within the past ten years exceeds two, or if the Department of Health determines a settlement to be relevant to patient decision making. Settlement of a claim may occur for a variety of reasons, which does not necessarily reflect negatively on the professional competence or conduct of the physician. A payment in settlement of a medical malpractice action or claim does not necessarily mean that a medical malpractice has occurred.
