At Van Wey & Metzler, we have built our legacy standing up to dangerous doctors and the institutions that protect them. When healthcare professionals violate their sacred duty of care, we do more than file lawsuits—we fight to ensure it never happens again.
We are now representing survivors of Dr. Barry Brock, a former OB/GYN at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who has been accused of a staggering range of abuses: sexual assault, non-consensual medical procedures, and systemic misconduct spanning more than 40 years.
If you were harmed by Dr. Brock—or suspect something wasn’t right during your care—please know this:
You are not alone. You are not to blame. And your consultation with us is 100% private and confidential.
Dr. Barry Brock practiced for four decades at Cedars-Sinai, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country. Throughout that time, more than 60 women have stepped forward to accuse him of deeply disturbing behavior, including:
Most of these women sought medical care at deeply vulnerable moments—during pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery. Instead of healing, they were left with trauma, confusion, and a profound sense of betrayal.
And even worse, many survivors now believe that Cedars-Sinai knew. Reports from staff referring to Brock as “Brock the Butcher” suggest a longstanding awareness within the institution—yet no action was taken for decades.
At Van Wey & Metzler, we are no strangers to these kinds of cases. Our founder, Kay Van Wey, was a lead attorney in the now-infamous Dr. Death case and has earned national recognition for holding negligent healthcare providers—and the institutions that enable them—accountable.
We understand the courage it takes to come forward. That’s why we handle every call with compassion, discretion, and respect. There is no pressure to commit to legal action. Just a safe space to ask questions, share your story, and understand your options.
Sexual abuse in medical settings is notoriously underreported. Patients are taught from childhood to trust their doctors, to comply with examinations, to believe in the authority of white coats and diplomas. When that trust is violated, survivors often experience:
And many institutions, sadly, rely on that silence.
But as survivors speak up, they create a path for others. That’s the power of collective courage—and we are here to help amplify those voices.
If you were a patient of Dr. Barry Brock and something about your experience felt wrong—even if you couldn’t explain it at the time—we encourage you to reach out. What happened to you matters. And it may have happened to others, too.
Time limits apply. In California, you may have up to 10 years from the date of abuse or 3 years from the moment you connect your emotional harm to the experience. But the sooner you speak with someone, the sooner we can begin helping.
We don’t just build cases—we build trust. We understand how institutions fail. And we fight to make sure they are never allowed to again.
Whether you are ready to take legal action, or simply want to understand your rights, we are here for you. Call (214) 329-1350 or fill out our secure online contact form to speak with a member of our legal team. Your consultation is private, compassionate, and absolutely confidential.
