1Opinion of the Court
Barnes, Presiding Judge.
Yolanda Williams sued John M. Murrell, D. P. M., and Midtown Foot Clinic, P. C., alleging in her amended complaint that the *640defendants had defrauded her by billing her for foot surgeries that were never performed. The trial court dismissed Williams's fraud claims based on her failure to file an expert affidavit with her complaint pursuant to OCGA § 9-11-9.1. Because Williams's fraud claims were grounded in allegations of intentional misconduct, those claims did not need to be accompanied by an expert affidavit, and we therefore reverse the judgment.
