Borrayo v. Avery

Opinion

DONDERO, J.

—Plaintiff Lidia C. Borrayo sued defendant Dr. G. James Avery, alleging he had engaged in medical malpractice during the course of treating her for a condition known as thoracic outlet syndrome. Defendant moved for summary judgment, which the trial court granted after sustaining his objection to her sole expert witness’s declaration. On appeal, plaintiff argues that this expert witness, a physician licensed to practice medicine in Mexico, was qualified to provide an opinion about the standard of care to which defendant was held. We agree and reverse.
