Where Do Delayed Diagnosis Mistakes Happen in Pennsylvania?
Diagnostic errors can occur in any healthcare setting, from big city hospitals to small town clinics.Doctor's Offices
Your family doctor should be your first line of defense against serious health problems. Unfortunately, some primary care physicians miss red flags, fail to order tests or don't follow up on abnormal results. Busy specialists like surgeons and OB-GYNs can also overlook symptoms.Urgent Care Clinics
Walk-in clinics are popular for their convenience. But the quick pace and lack of doctor-patient relationship can lead to missed diagnoses of heart attacks, strokes, and infections. Doctors may be too quick to brush off symptoms as minor illnesses.Outpatient Facilities
Outpatient surgery centers and specialty clinics can create gaps in your care where diagnostic errors slip through. If doctors don't communicate or consider the whole picture, serious conditions like cancer can go undiagnosed until it's too late. No matter where your delayed diagnosis occurred, our Pennsylvania medical malpractice attorneys can help. We'll thoroughly investigate to uncover the mistakes made and who is responsible. Then, we'll use our experience to fight for your rights and just compensation. With Pribanic & Pribanic, you'll have a team committed to getting to the bottom of what happened and holding the right people accountable.Featured Medical Malpractice Attorneys
