YOUR SPECIALTY IS OUR SPECIALTY

Medical Protective was

founded by doctors

in 1899. For over a

century, doctors have

been involved in every

key aspect of MedPro’s

organization: claims,

underwriting, risk

management and patient

safety/protection.

Their involvement has improved

the healthcare delivery of

more than a million healthcare

providers throughout the

years; however, given today’s

rapidly changing healthcare

environment, we are not

satisfied to rest on our laurels.

Accordingly, MedPro has

recently established 16 specialty

boards comprised exclusively

of established doctors who are

experts in their specialties.

RISK MANAGEMENT RESOURCES

TESTIMONIALS

“From the beginning of a laborious two-year process, my attorney was thorough and detailed

in his preparation for every phase of my legal defense. His cross examination of the expert

witnesses for deposition testimony was thorough and skillful... In court, his knowledge of the

case and preparation became quite evident. He prepared me appropriately for my own time

on the witness stand and allowed me to present my case methodically and convincingly.

During the trial, his attitude was upbeat, positive and professional. He carefully dissected

every word of the plaintiff attorneys’ arguments and objected appropriately when things got

out of hand. He displayed great legal skill during the trial. The quick unanimous decision (40

minutes) from the jury in my favor is a tribute to his legal abilities.”

“The lawyers I met with were very knowledgeable and compassionate. I learned that having

an extremely competent, caring team at Medical Protective was truly a blessing for me. They

showed me that when I needed them, they were 100% committed to me. The premiums were

miniscule in comparison with my peace of mind.”
