Standard of care is that level of care, skill and treatment which is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by a reasonably prudent similar healthcare provider under similar circumstances. If your physician has settled a malpractice claim or has a judgment on a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and make a determination.
