Gainesville, VA asked in Consumer Law and Medical Malpractice for Virginia

Q: Can they do this?

I recently received a letter from my chiropractic group telling me that my particular doctor was no longer with the group. It also informed me that they had reviewed my records and were “discharging me from the practice”. I would no longer be able to see any of their doctors, effectively banning me from their practice.

While I will find another doctor, can they do this??

A: Maybe find out what the problem is so that if it's a way you present you can avoid problems in the future. A physician can chose who they will see. There are many other chiropractors out there, many of them good. Try another.
