PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE & DISCIPLINE

When a health care professional's license is under investigation, skilled and experienced counsel is essential to ensure the best possible outcome. At FKDSSF, we have the attorneys to provide the legal representation required to deal with the investigative agencies of the New York State Department of Health. Our attorney staff includes nurses, a physician and a pharmacist as well as highly experienced trial counsel.

The firm has extensive experience representing physicians, dentists, nurses and other licensed health care professionals before the Office of Professional Medical Conduct (OPMC) and the Office of Professional Discipline (OPD). We encourage early interaction with OPMC and OPD to establish a dialogue and potentially prevent disciplinary action. Our access to medical and other health care experts enables FKDSSF to provide a focused defense to the issues under investigation.

Our team of attorneys is familiar with all phases of the disciplinary process, from the initial interview through administrative hearings and appeals. This experience factor enables FKDSSF to help our clients navigate their way through these adversarial investigations.

A professional license is a valuable asset. An investigation by OPMC or OPD may subject that license to various forms of discipline up to and including its loss. FKDSSF can provide the advice and counsel required to help protect that asset.
