OPINION

TERRIE LIVINGSTON, Justice.

Appellants Malcolm and Leann Barber sued Leo C. Mercer, Jr., M.D., appellee, and others for negligence in the treatment and care of Malcolm’s heart condition during a heart bypass procedure. Dr. Mercer was the general surgeon who assisted the lead surgeon by harvesting a saphenous vein from Malcolm’s leg. This case currently involves only Dr. Mercer. The Barbers challenge the trial court’s dismissal of their claim against Dr. Mercer for failure to comply with the expert report requirements of the civil practice and remedies code. We reverse and remand.
