We can help you learn whether were you diagnosed with a cancer that was allowed to grow unchecked for months, or even years, because your doctor:
- failed to order the appropriate test;
- failed to properly interpret the test results;
- failed to educate you on the importance of screening tests; or
- failed to respond to symptoms you reported.
The only thing worse than learning you have cancer is learning that your cancer could have been diagnosed sooner. If you suspect your doctor could/should have diagnosed your cancer earlier, contact the legal-medical team at the Porter Law Group for a free case evaluation
You are not alone. Doctors routinely fail to order the correct tests or screening procedures, misread test results, and fail to carefully listen to patients whose symptoms should have raised a red flag. We’ve helped countless families get answers to their questions after they learned of a cancer diagnosis.
