Pinnacle Partners in Medicine Continues its Mission to Uphold the Highest Standards in Quality Care
On June 25th, 2009, the Dallas Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision in the Neal Fisher vs. Pinnacle lawsuit that was originally decided in 2007.
While this is a surprising and disappointing development, we stand by our defense that Dr. Fisher violated the terms of his contract, and that his dismissal is in keeping with our mission and policies to uphold the highest standards in quality care, and to elevate the practice of anesthesiology and pain medicine. Pinnacle physicians take pride in the fact that they hold each other accountable for their actions and care. We are recognized by the facilities that we serve for our rigorous peer review, quality and credentialing processes.
Pinnacle’s attorneys are carefully reviewing the decision from the Dallas Court of Appeals and determining our best legal options at this time.
We will continue to provide the highest quality of care to our patients, surgeons and healthcare facilities and will continue to be an ever growing and vibrant organization.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
Michael Hicks, MD, Chairman and President
