Dr. Barry J. Brock, a former obstetrician-gynecologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, has surrendered his medical license to the California Medical Board following accusations of negligent care. Rather than contest the claims, Brock chose to relinquish his license, effectively barring him from practicing medicine in California permanently. His surrender follows numerous lawsuits from former patients alleging sexual abuse and medically unnecessary procedures. Cedars-Sinai has suspended his privileges, stating the alleged behaviors are counter to their core values and emphasizing their commitment to patients amid ongoing legal proceedings.
Under an agreement with the Medical Board of California, Dr. Barry Brock has surrendered his medical license for life following accusations of negligent care.
Brock chose to surrender his license, according to his attorney, rather than spend resources on a potentially lengthy hearing.
At least 176 women have filed lawsuits against Brock and Cedars-Sinai, alleging concealment of his sexual misconduct and other improprieties.
Cedars-Sinai stated that Dr. Brock's behavior contrasts with its core values and trust commitments to patients, necessitating the legal process.
