At Phillips Law Group, we are investigating allegations against Dr. Derrick Todd and advocating for survivors of his abuse. The recent allegations against Dr. Derrick Todd, a former rheumatologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, have shocked the community and highlighted the urgent need for justice for those who have suffered at the hands of trusted medical professionals. For some survivors, that justice may come in the form of a Dr. Derrick Todd sex abuse lawsuit.
Allegations Against Dr. Todd
Dr. Todd is accused of sexually abusing numerous patients under the guise of medical care, with allegations dating back years. These brave survivors have come forward to share their stories, revealing a pattern of misconduct that has left lasting physical, emotional, and psychological scars.
The lawsuits allege that Dr. Todd exploited his position of trust, subjecting patients to unnecessary and invasive examinations for his own gratification. As a rheumatologist, his job was mainly to treat people with arthritis and joint conditions. Instead, he is accused of “performing unnecessary pelvic floor therapy, breast examinations, testicular examinations and rectal examinations on patients,” according to WBUR, a public radio station and local news source located in Boston.
One woman who joined a lawsuit against Dr. Todd in Massachusetts’ Suffolk Superior Court said that during one medical exam visit, Todd “aggressively groped her breasts…to the point that he ‘seemed to enjoy that a little too much.’”
As of April 2024, more than 200 women had joined a consolidated lawsuit against Dr. Todd.
