Thomas A. Moore, senior partner of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, review a case that may seem like a run-of-the-mill malpractice claim for failure to timely diagnose.

Thomas A. Moore, a senior partner of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, write that the physician-patient privilege reflected in CPLR 4504 and its attendant confidentiality requirement most often arises in malpractice litigation in the context of discovery.

Thomas A. Moore, senior partner of Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore, and Matthew Gaier, a partner at the firm, write that the rules established over a decade ago in Brown v.
