Sperling Prostate Center Sued for Medical Malpractice
The Sperling Prostate Center, a medical practice in Florida, is facing a lawsuit from a patient who alleges that the center failed to properly diagnose his prostate cancer.
The patient, Alan B. Rosenthal, alleges that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019. He underwent surgery to remove the cancer, but the cancer returned. Rosenthal alleges that the Sperling Prostate Center should have diagnosed the cancer earlier, when it was more treatable.
Rosenthal is seeking damages for his medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of earning capacity. He is also seeking punitive damages.
The Sperling Prostate Center has denied the allegations and has said that it will vigorously defend itself against the lawsuit.
The case is still pending in court.
Here are some of the specific allegations in the Sperling Prostate Center lawsuit:
- The Sperling Prostate Center failed to properly diagnose Rosenthal’s prostate cancer.

- The Sperling Prostate Center’s negligence caused Rosenthal to lose his earning capacity.
The outcome of the Sperling Prostate Center lawsuit could have a significant impact on the medical malpractice industry. If Rosenthal is successful, it could lead to changes in the way that prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated.
