Gynecologist facing lawsuit over painful examination was subject of other complaints to physicians' college - News Summed Up

Gynecologist facing lawsuit over painful examination was subject of other complaints to physicians' college


Police investigated her and two other patients' complaints against the doctor and have closed their investigation without laying any charges. "The Committee noted that Dr. Gerber has been the subject of several previous complaints to the College raising issues about his communications and painful examinations," the summary stated. A spokesperson for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario said the College is 'unable to comment on active investigations.' Each letter states, "I have never seen Dr. Gerber continue with a procedure if the patient has asked him to stop." "Further, both experts found that the examination techniques of Dr. Gerber described by the complainants were routine and met or exceeded the standard of care for clinically indicated and properly conducted gynecological examinations."
