A Unique Perspective on Medical Malpractice and Healthcare Accountability
With decades of experience in healthcare leadership, Anne Roberts brings an unparalleled depth of knowledge to the intersection of law and medicine. As both an attorney and a nationally recognized healthcare consultant, Anne has spent her career ensuring that hospitals and medical institutions uphold the highest standards of patient safety, regulatory compliance, and physician accountability.
At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, Anne focuses on medical malpractice and healthcare litigation, advocating for patients and families who have suffered harm due to medical negligence. Her unique background in medical staff credentialing, privileging, and peer review gives her a critical edge in uncovering failures within hospital systems and holding providers accountable for preventable errors.
Exposing Systemic Failures to Protect Patients
Before becoming an attorney, Anne played a pivotal role in shaping medical staff policies at some of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions. She worked closely with executive physician leaders to draft and implement medical staff governing documents, oversee credentialing and privileging programs, and enforce peer review policies.
As Vice President of Medical Staff Services at Mount Sinai Health System in New York, she continues to ensure that hospitals operate with integrity, that unqualified or dangerous physicians are identified and disciplined, and that medical staff standards align with regulatory requirements. Now, as an attorney, she brings that same passion for patient safety to the courtroom—using her deep understanding of hospital policies and administrative processes to advocate for those harmed by the very system meant to protect them.
A Passion for Reform and Patient Advocacy
Anne’s dedication to improving healthcare safety extends beyond individual cases. She serves on a National Patient Safety Advisory Group, lobbying for stronger oversight of medical staff quality and peer review. As an award-winning author, she has written extensively on medical staff credentialing and peer review, educating hospitals and healthcare professionals on best practices to prevent patient harm.
Her commitment to justice is also evident in her legal career—while attending UNT Dallas College of Law, Anne served as Chief Student Counsel for the Joyce Ann Brown Innocence Clinic, advocating for those wrongfully convicted. This drive to fight for those who have been failed by the system continues to fuel her work at Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, where she combines her legal expertise with her deep knowledge of healthcare operations to secure justice for injured patients.
Holding Hospitals and Providers Accountable
Anne’s dual certification by the National Association of Medical Staff Services (NAMSS) in Medical Staff Management and Credentialing, along with her Golden Key Award recognition as a leader in the field, underscores her exceptional qualifications in the complex world of medical malpractice litigation. She understands how hospitals operate behind the scenes, how medical staff decisions are made, and where dangerous gaps in oversight exist—making her a formidable advocate for those who have suffered life-altering injuries due to medical negligence.
At Van Wey, Metzler & Williams, Anne is not just practicing law—she is transforming healthcare by exposing failures, demanding accountability, and fighting for the rights of those who need it most.
