OPINION

DUGGAN, Justice.

This is an appeal from a take-nothing summary judgment in a medical malpractice action.

Appellant was injured when a small piece of his nose was torn off in an accident. He was taken to the emergency room of The Woodlands Community Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. John Wah, an agent of Gulf Coast Emergency Physician’s Association. Dr. Wah consulted with Dr. Michael *315Chaney, a plastic surgeon, regarding treatment of the cavity created by the detachment of skin from appellant’s nose. Appellant contends that the doctors’ treatment left him disfigured.
