In Their Own Words
"Around 1995, I was pregnant with my first child. I had been practicing dentistry since 1986, first with the army, then in full-time private practice. I called your office as soon as I had received a legal notice no doctor wants or expects to receive: I was being sued. My MedPro claims manager was so kind to me. We reviewed the claim over the phone. He assured me not to worry, that he would assign me a legal firm in my area and that I would meet with them.
He also told me something I had never realized. While I had seen being sued as a failure on my part, as diligent as I had tried to be, I felt I must have missed SOMETHING. He told me being sued is typically inevitable: if you practice long enough, it's not IF you will be sued, it's WHEN you will be sued. That perspective made me feel better about my situation.
And, as he had promised, the lawyers I met with were very knowledgeable and compassionate. I shed a few tears during our meeting. Even though the patient ended up dropping the allegations, I learned that having an extremely competent, caring team at Medical Protective was truly a blessing for me. They showed me that when I needed them, they were 100% committed to me. The premium was miniscule in comparison to my peace of mind. I have remained an insured since 1990 and will stay one until I retire."

"I am grateful for your support from day one. Throughout my claims ordeal I was constantly amazed and impressed with your team's understanding and control of the process. I believe their approach was flawless. Prior to trial, my defense counsel prepared enough to totally discredit their "expert witness" and the plaintiff. He was constantly helpful in guiding me through this stressful experience and helped focus my efforts towards assisting in my own defense. I am completely satisfied and feel that I now enjoy the best outcome possible. Your effort is appreciated."

"I would like to express my appreciation regarding the defense provided to me by MedPro. My defense team was excellent throughout the entire stressful process of deposition, case preparation, and especially the trial. They were thorough, well prepared, and most importantly a constantly calming influence. Their calm demeanor masks what I can only describe as a chess master's tactical skills. I will be forever grateful for the efforts and skills used in my defense."

"I would like to express my most sincere and heartfelt appreciation for all the support and incredible service MedPro has provided me during this most stressful, trying and uncertain time. The legal representation MedPro provided for me could not have been surpassed. I was astounded by the tireless hours and service given me. The work ethic, attention to detail and preparation were comforting and made me feel that my defense was heard. My defense attorney's lead and strategy were a marvel to watch. I could not imagine what this experience would have been like, if I was represented by someone who really did not care."

"Many doctors choose their carrier based on rates – as if they're buying auto insurance. But, you have to be careful. I learned the hard way. A patient died from complications and I was dragged into a six-year ordeal. What saw me through those difficult times was the sage guidance of my excellent legal representation and MedPro's compassionate claims manager. I am happy my practice chose Medical Protective."
