Dr. Brock Lawsuit – The Allegations
At least 60 former patients have filed lawsuits over sexual abuse allegations involving Dr. Barry Brock, a longtime OB-GYN at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. The lawsuits allege that Brock sexually abused and/or harassed multiple unsuspecting patients.
Brock is now barred from practicing medical care at Cedars-Sinai, who reported him to the California Medical Board. The medical center stated that Brock’s behavior is “counter to Cedars-Sinai’s core values.”
Brock also maintained offices in the city of Beverly Hills, CA.
Complaints have been filed with the state’s medical boards, in addition to numerous medical institutions that Brock has worked at.
Brock has been accused of:
- Unnecessary medical procedures
- Inappropriate comments
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Performing unnecessary sutures
- Forceful medical instrument use
- Negligent medical care
- Predatory sexual assault
- Rape
There have been numerous more specific allegations regarding Brock’s sexual misconduct:
- A lawsuit alleges that Brock told a patient she had “perfect breasts.”
- A lawsuit alleges that Brock told a patient she had “beautiful breasts,” and when she didn’t respond, he told her, “I’m not saying that as a doctor, I’m saying it as a man.”
- A lawsuit alleges that Brock entered a patient’s labor and delivery room while he had an erection, then placed the patient’s foot on it.
- A lawsuit claims that Brock rubbed his erect penis against a patient’s hand.
- A lawsuit alleges that when a patient refused a vaginal examination, Brock pulled her pants down in front of her daughter, causing the patient to run out of the room, crying.
- Multiple patients have claimed that Brock would not leave rooms while they undressed, or denied requests for hospital gowns, requiring patients to undergo examinations while naked.
- A lawsuit alleges Brock told a patient her vagina appeared “ripe,” and asked if, during sex, her partner ejaculated on her body.
- A lawsuit alleges Brock groped a patient’s breasts, making inappropriate comments to the patient as well as the patient’s husband.
- A lawsuit is accusing Brock of performing post-childbirth “vaginal rejuvenations” on female patients without consent. The lawsuit alleges that Brock stated, “I’m going to sew her up virgin tight.” Brock’s actions have been described as “female genital mutilation” by a lawsuit. A lawsuit alleges Brock needlessly sutured a patient after childbirth, leading to the patient suffering pain during intercourse and not being able to use tampons.
- A lawsuit alleges that Brock conducted vaginal and breast exams without justifying them medically. The lawsuit claims he told a pregnant woman that the cervical checks he was doing “did not really mean anything, but that he wanted to do them anyway.”
- A lawsuit claims Brock sniffed his fingers following a vaginal examination.
- A lawsuit alleges Brock told a patient who just experienced a miscarriage that she was “nice and tight down there, and that her husband would really enjoy it.”
- A lawsuit claims Brock stuck his finger in a patient’s rectum without consent or warning, following a Pap smear.
- A lawsuit alleges Brock “violently” thrusted a speculum into a patient’s vagina, opening it and proceeding to pump the speculum in and out in a simulation of intercourse.
In addition, lawsuits are alleging that Cedars-Sinai covered up Brock’s behavior for decades. The lawsuits are claiming that Cedars-Sinai covered up negative reports regarding Brock, even though many of these reports were from staff and employees at the medical center, such as medical assistants and nurses who were witnesses to Brock’s behavior.
Administrators at Cedars-Sinai, according to lawsuits, were given repeated, ample warnings regarding his abuse and misconduct, in addition to complaints to the health system and state medical board.
These allegations are horrific and no woman should have to go through these things.

Compensation We Can Recover in a Barry Brock M.D. Lawsuit
Brock is accused of committing extremely heinous acts. We intend to hold Brock accountable for these acts.
We will seek appropriate punishments for Brock and Cedars Sinai, as well as seek to make sure that all liable parties financially compensate survivors for the harm they suffered due to sexual acts.
We can help you or your loved one recover financial compensation for:
Pain and Suffering
If Brock sexually assaulted you, you could have gone through physical pain. You could have also endured emotional and psychological suffering which might have been even worse than the physical pain. The pain and suffering you have endured may include:
- Substance abuse intended to help you cope with abuse
- Lost quality of life
- Generalized or acute anxiety
- Depression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Traumatic memories
- Trouble sleeping
Each victim of sexual abuse will deal with trauma in a different way. Our law firm will work alongside you, mental health pros and experts in order to identify every form of pain and suffering which you can recover financial compensation for.
Medical Bills
You may have required medical observation after the abuse you suffered. You might also still be requiring medical care, such as if Brock performed one of the “vaginal rejuvenations” on you that he’s been accused of performing. We can help you recover compensation for any past or future medical expenses related to your abuse.
Psychological Treatment
The ACOG lists PTSD as a consequence of being sexually abused. You may require treatment for PTSD or other psychological symptoms.
Our law firm will fight to recover all compensation possible for sexual abuse treatments such as counseling and medications.
Professional Harm
Sexual assault or abuse can lead to psychological and emotional effects which make it difficult to work. Should the abuse you suffered interfere with your ability to work, you may:
- Lose your job
- Lose salary or wages
- Lose earning power
- Miss out on chances to earn bonuses or retirement contributions
- Suffer other professional damages
Your career and your financial status are inextricably linked. We will fight hard to recover any and all professional losses you suffer. This will be crucial in helping you get back to living your best life.
Punitive Damages
The alleged conduct on behalf of Brock and Cedars-Sinai has been described as reckless, wanton and grossly negligent. This will allow us to seek punitive damages on your behalf. These damages can maximize your financial recovery, punish wrongdoers for their behavior and deter others from behaving similarly in the future.
How Much Money Is My Case Worth?
The value of a sexual abuse lawsuit involving a doctor will vary based upon numerous factors. One of the biggest factors will be if a third-party employer such as Cedars-Sinai can be held liable. Because intentional acts such as sex abuse aren’t usually covered by malpractice insurance, it’s often critical to be able to sue a third party in order to recover substantial compensation. Institutions like Cedars-Sinai can be held liable for negligence if they fail to address previous complaints or adequately supervise doctors.
Multiple factors can influence the value of your case, including:
- How severe the abuse was: The extent and nature of your abuse can heavily affect the compensation you’re entitled to. More severe abuse will lead to more compensation.
- The impact it had on you: The amount of compensation you’re eligible for will be impacted by the financial, psychological and emotional toll the abuse had on you. This will include lost wages and medical expenses.
- Institutional negligence: Larger payouts can occur when healthcare systems or hospitals ignore red flags, complaints or warnings about doctors’ behavior.
- Public exposure: Cases with significant media attention, like cases involving Brock, might end up settling for larger amounts because of concerns about institutional reputation.
- Your attorney: The finest sexual abuse attorneys recover the best settlements. Every lawyer who handles cases like these will not know exactly what to do. To get the best results, hire lawyers who have been handling sexual abuse cases for over 30 years like the lawyers at our firm.
Possible Causes of Action in a Dr. Brock OB-GYN Lawsuit

California Sexual Abuse Statute of Limitations
In California, there is a time limit for victims of sexual abuse to file claims, a time limit known as a statute of limitations. That time limit is typically 10 years from the date of the abuse, or three years since an illness or injury resulting from the abuse was discovered.
The latter, part, relating to discovery of an illness or injury, can allow even victims of sexual abuse which occurred in the 1980s to file lawsuits should they discover new mental injuries or illnesses relating to their abuse in the past three years.
In addition, recent legislation has opened up a “lookback window” for sexual assault survivors in California. Many victims of sexual abuse whose cases would otherwise be barred by the statute of limitations now have an opportunity to file a lawsuit until December 31, 2026.
Statute of limitations law regarding sexual abuse in California is quite complex. Call us today for a free consultation and we can let you know whether you qualify to file a lawsuit over the abuse you suffered at the hands of Brock.
