Concerned About Medical Care? Where to Start
For patients and families who are worried that something went wrong in medical care. It points to existing explanations of records, of what happened, of where a concern can go and of the legal distinctions involved. It does not decide whether anything went wrong, whether anyone has a claim, or what anyone should do.
If something is urgent: This website cannot respond to messages about anyone’s care. In an emergency, call 911. For a question about your own treatment now, contact your own physician’s office or care team.

Legal distinctions in California
About the legal pages: These pages explain California law in general terms. They do not tell anyone whether they have a claim, and this site does not calculate a filing deadline for anyone’s situation. Some deadlines are short; a California-licensed attorney can advise on a particular matter.
What this page is not
This is not an intake for expert review. Physician expert review is a separate professional service for attorneys and healthcare organizations, with conflict screening before any records are sent; it does not accept medical records or case details from the public through this website. How expert review screens conflicts.
