1Opinion of the Court
Sognier, Judge.
Naomi Jeanette Bell and Timothy. Bell brought suit against Jorge V. Figueredo, M.D., and Parkway Surgery Associates, P.C., seeking damages for personal injuries and loss of consortium arising from the alleged negligence of Figueredo in performing surgery upon Mrs. Bell. This suit was the second filed by the Bells, the first suit against the same defendants having been voluntarily dismissed pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-41 (a). The trial court dismissed the instant action because the complaint did not include an expert affidavit as required by OCGA § 9-11-9.1, and the Bells appeal.
