Because Relationships Matter 
Fiedler Deutsch LLP is proud to have represented our client, Fox Varian, in her historic medical malpractice victory against psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and plastic surgeon Simon Chin. The jury’s verdict in favor of Fox underscores a fundamental principle of medical malpractice law: all patients, regardless of the nature of their treatment, are entitled to medical care that meets established and accepted standards of practice.
As a firm dedicated to people injured by others’ negligence, including by medical providers, we approach every medical malpractice case with the same purpose — to evaluate whether the care provided met the applicable standard, and whether departures from that standard caused harm. This case was no different. While the subject matter involved gender-affirming care, our role and analysis remained consistent with every other case we handle, guided by the opinions of highly qualified, experienced, and objective medical experts.
Our firm’s position on gender-affirming care is irrelevant to the legal issues at hand. This case was not a statement or referendum on the appropriateness of gender-affirming care for adults or minors. Instead, it was about whether physicians adhered to their professional and ethical obligations when providing that care to Fox.
Fiedler Deutsch LLP firmly believes that any medical provider who departs from accepted medical standards, regardless of the context of the treatment, should be held accountable in a court of law for the injuries that result. Patients trust their doctors with their health and well-being, and our firm is committed to ensuring that this trust is never violated by care that falls below accepted medical standards.
Guided by fairness, integrity, and our commitment to justice our firm will vigorously pursue meritorious cases on behalf of deserving clients who have been injured due to the negligence of others, including physicians — just as we did in this matter.
