Our firm is dedicated to defending physicians and other health care providers who are facing disciplinary actions involving medical negligence. We are adept at handling all interactions with the Department of Health (DOH), the Board of Medicine and the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). If you are a physician who has been served a Notice of Investigation, talk to one of our attorneys. You may also read more about the Department of Health's role in the investigation and prosecution.

Our attorneys defend dentists in disciplinary actions before the DOH and the Florida Board of Dentistry. We have substantial experience providing dental malpractice defense services, determining if the standard of care was breached and securing the best possible outcomes for our dentist clients.

Whether you are a doctor or dentist requiring professional liability defense, you can turn to Bush Graziano & Rice, P.A.

A professional licensed by the state of Florida may have to defend against a complaint, or a finding of probable cause for discipline by the regulatory body. A prudent professional will retain a private attorney as soon as possible to respond to the complaint to avoid a finding of probable cause. The state agency may appoint an attorney in professional licensing and disciplinary issues involving professionals. However, a private attorney will be solely committed to your best interests.

Protecting Your Rights

Many professionals are unaware that they are not required to give a personal interview as part of the medical or dental malpractice investigation. We will arrange for you to provide written responses to questions and help you respond in a manner that protects your rights. We will also work to fill your case file with evidence supportive of your position and represent you at the administrative hearing.

For experienced representation in administrative issues, including medical license defense and dental license defense, please contact our law firm to discuss your case.
