What happened to you at Cedars-Sinai was not okay.
Not the doctor. The hospital. Five hundred women and counting say Cedars-Sinai heard about Barry Brock and kept booking him. If you were a patient there, with him or with anyone else on that staff, and something was wrong, this is for you.
WatchingThe Brock cases are far along, and California's window for claims that a hospital covered up abuse is open now, through December 31, 2027. We are taking names while it is.

6 questions. Your answers are private and go to one person.
Your doctor there was Barry Brock? There is a page about him, too.
This applies to you no matter what
- It wasn't Dr. Brock. The questions above ask who it was for a reason. A hospital that let one doctor go for forty years is a hospital worth asking about, whoever your doctor was.
- You complained and got a form letter, or a phone call, or a promise that somebody would look into it. Keep that letter. That is exactly the kind of thing the current cases are built on.
- You kept going there. It is the biggest hospital on the Westside; of course you did.
- It was decades ago. The Brock complaints start in 1986, and California's cover-up window, open through 2027, reaches claims from any year.
- You signed things. Consent to treatment is not consent to anything else, and it never was.
- You're asking for a mother, a sister, a friend who can't. Reach out anyway.
The Cedars-Sinai lawsuits: what the public record says, and when
None of what follows is ours. It comes from filed complaints, the Medical Board of California, the hospital's own statements and the reporters who covered them, and every line links to its source. Cedars-Sinai has not admitted liability, Dr. Brock has denied the allegations, and nothing here says otherwise.
September 2024
Cedars-Sinai revoked Brock's privileges after patient complaints, ending more than forty years on its staff. The hospital's later statement: the behavior alleged is counter to its core values. Beverly Press.
October 1, 2024
Thirty-five women filed the first suits in Los Angeles Superior Court against Brock, Cedars-Sinai and two of his practices, and the word in the announcement was cover-up: decades long, they said. Filing announcement.
December 30, 2024
One hundred sixty-seven plaintiffs, and then 107 more two days into the new year. Filing announcement.
June 2025
Brock gave up his California medical license rather than contest a Medical Board accusation. His lawyer called it a decision, not an admission. Los Angeles Times.
October 2025
The count passes 330. The new complaints say Cedars-Sinai knowingly enabled a serial predator and put its reputation ahead of patient safety, over more than forty years. Beverly Press.
February 2026
Past 500. A new complaint is built entirely around what the hospital did after patients reported him: no investigation, no restriction of his privileges, no warning to the women on his schedule, according to the filing. It cites AB 250 and the window that runs through 2027. Lawyer Herald.
We checked this on September 11, 2026, and the newest thing in it is from February 2026. When something new gets filed or decided, it goes in here within 72 hours, with the link.
Who can be held responsible in a Cedars-Sinai lawsuit
The hospital, and that is the entire point of this page. A doctor with privileges works under the hospital's credentialing, the hospital's peer review, the hospital's complaint process. When a patient reports him and the hospital does nothing, the hospital has made a choice, and California law lets a jury look at that choice. Every one of the 500-plus Brock cases names Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Two of his private practices, Beverly Hills OB/GYN and the Rodeo Drive Women's Health Center, are named as well.
Cedars-Sinai is a private nonprofit health system with a strong balance sheet and an Aa3 credit rating. It is not a public hospital, which matters: the California window that runs through 2027 is written for private institutions, and there is no public-entity cap standing between a patient and a verdict.
Your deadline: California's statute of limitations, and the cover-up window that closes at the end of 2027
Two dates, and they point in different directions, so don't let a search summary hand you one. The near one: anything from 2009 onward got a second chance when California reopened the deadline in 2023 under Code of Civil Procedure 340.16, and that second chance runs out on the last day of 2026. Not far off.
Then the second door, and this one is already open. A 2025 law called AB 250 gave two years, from the first day of 2026 to the last day of 2027, to anyone with a claim that an institution covered up sexual abuse; the year it happened doesn't matter. It was written with hospitals like this one in mind, and it is the reason we are collecting names in 2026.
Adults abused after 2019 also have the ordinary rule, ten years from the act or three from discovery, and minors longer. Which of these is yours depends on your dates, and a lawyer sorts it in one call. Assuming it's too late is the only real mistake.
Your situation still qualifies even if
- You have never said it out loud. Not to a spouse, not to anyone.
- You aren't sure whether it was an exam or something else. That doubt is what the complaints say he counted on.
- It was a different department entirely. Oncology, cardiology, the ER. The hospital is still the hospital.
- You already talked to one of the big firms and never heard back.
- You live outside California now.

Questions people are asking
Can I sue Cedars-Sinai?
More than 500 women already have, over one doctor, and their complaints are against the hospital as much as the man. Whether you can depends on what happened, who you told, and when. That is what the questions above sort out.
What if it wasn't Dr. Brock?
Tell us who it was, or just the role. The questions are written for any Cedars-Sinai patient, and a hospital that missed one doctor for forty years is a fair question about the others.
Does AB 250 apply to Cedars-Sinai?
This is the case it was written for, a private institution accused of covering for someone it controlled. It opened at the start of 2026, it shuts at the end of 2027, and whether your facts fit inside it is a lawyer's question, which is the reason to ask this year rather than next.
What kind of lawyer do I need?
A civil lawyer who handles institutional sexual abuse, meaning cases against hospitals and health systems, not only the individual. That is the only kind we work with, and the firm we work with handles California cases wherever you live now.
How much does a sexual abuse lawyer cost?
Here, nothing. Every case is on contingency. The lawyer is paid only out of what is recovered, and if nothing is recovered you owe nothing. Not for the call, not for the review, not for the case.
Who sees your form
Kerim Eravci · Survivor Advocate · Not a lawyer
I was a victim, and I waited. Not because I didn't know what happened to me (I knew every day), but because I'd decided it was over, mine to carry, nobody's business. When I finally went looking for a lawyer, the answer came back in two words I'd never thought about: statute of limitations. My time had run out while I was busy getting through it.
What that has cost me since is a long story, and I'll tell you the whole thing in private, if you want it. The short version is the reason my name is on this page: I'm here to help people do what I wish I'd done, which is find out where you stand while the door's still open.
I'm not a lawyer. I read what you send, I call you once, on your terms, and nothing gets filed unless you say so. Ask sooner than I did.
Kerim Eravci is not an attorney. He's a survivor.
What happens next. Three steps, nothing more until you say so.
- You answer 6 questions. Nothing is filed. Nothing starts.
- A survivor calls you, once. Not a robot, not a call center. Someone who has been where you are.
- You decide. You find out your options. If you want to stop there, you stop there.
