Dr. Barry Brock, a longtime OB-GYN affiliated with Cedars-Sinai, is now at the center of a growing sexual abuse scandal that has left hundreds of women seeking justice. As of early January 2025, more than 160 women have come forward, filing lawsuits accusing Dr. Brock of inappropriate and medically unjustifiable behavior during their care.

These sexual assault lawsuits not only name Dr. Barry Brock but also the institutions where he worked, including Cedars-Sinai and other Los Angeles facilities.  Why? Because they failed to protect patients from his predatory behavior. This Dr. Barry Brock lawsuit shows just how medical institutions enabled abuse by ignoring complaints and prioritizing their reputations and their social relationships with their colleagues over patient safety.
