SECTION 4: MALPRACTICE EXPERT AGREEMENT

DR. JACOBSEN TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN OUR REPUTATION FOR PROVIDING THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF QUALITY SURGICAL CARE TO OUR PATIENTS. HOWEVER, WE REALIZE THERE MAY BE TIMES WHEN SOME PATIENTS WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOMES OF THEIR TREATMENTS. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT IN THESE INSTANCES, A PATIENT HAS EVERY RIGHT TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION IF HE/SHE FEELS DR. JACOBSEN HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN SOME WAY. WE RESPECT EVERY PATIENT’S RIGHT TO DO SO. WHILE SOME HEALTHCARE LEGAL CLAIMS ARE JUSTIFIED, THERE ARE ALSO FRIVOLOUS LEGAL CLAIMS FILED IN OUR COUNTRY. THESE CLAIMS ARE DRIVING UP INSURANCE RATES AND HEALTH CARE COSTS. THESE FRIVOLOUS ACTIONS ARE IMPACTING COURT DECISIONS FOR THE PATIENTS WHO TRULY DESERVE COMPENSATION. THESE FRIVOLOUS ACTIONS ARE MAKING ACCESS TO CARE FOR SOME PATIENTS IN SOME STATES IMPOSSIBLE. WE BELIEVE THAT AN AGREEMENT EARLY IN THE TREATMENT PROCESS REGARDING THE USE OF BOARD-CERTIFIED EXPERTS WILL HELP EXPEDITE RESOLUTION OF CONCERNS.

WE COMMIT TO USING ONLY AMERICAN BOARD OF MEDICAL SPECIALISTS (ABMS) BOARD CERTIFIED EXPERT MEDICAL WITNESSES WHO ARE PLASTIC SURGEONS ACTIVELY PRACTICING IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA IN ANY LEGAL SITUATION, WHO FOLLOW THE CODE OF ETHICS OF OUR NATIONAL SPECIALTY SOCIETIES, THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS AND THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF AESTHETIC PLASTIC SURGERY.

WE ARE ASKING YOU TO EMPLOY ONLY ABMS BOARD CERTIFIED PHYSICIAN EXPERT PLASTIC SURGERY MEDICAL WITNESSES WHO ARE PLASTIC SURGEONS ACTIVELY PRACTICING IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH YOUR MEDICAL CARE AND DECIDE TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION.

WE BELIEVE YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO CONSIDER THIS AGAIN. BUT IF YOU DO, WE WILL HONOR THIS COMMITMENT TO YOU AS IT IS IN BOTH OF OUR MUTUAL BEST INTERESTS.

FURTHERMORE, SHOULD A MERITORIOUS MEDICAL MALPRACTICE CASE OR CAUSE OF ACTION BE INITIATED OR PURSUED, I AGREE TO USE ABMS BOARD CERTIFIED EXPERT MEDICAL WITNESSES WHO ARE PLASTIC SURGEONS ACTIVELY PRACTICING IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA. FURTHERMORE, I AGREE THAT THESE EXPERT WITNESSES WILL ADHERE TO THE GUIDELINES AND/OR CODE OF CONDUCT DEFINED BY THE SPECIALTY SOCIETIES, THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS AND THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF AESTHETIC PLASTIC SURGERY FOR EXPERT WITNESSES.

IN FURTHER CONSIDERATION FOR THIS, I, DR. WILLIAM M. JACOBSEN, AGREE TO THE SAME.
