Precision in Surgery Demands Flawless Protection

As a clinic specialized in laser vision correction, you provide highly technical care that requires exceptional precision and rigor. Despite your expertise, zero risk doesn’t exist. Dissatisfaction, postoperative complications, or an allegation of error can quickly lead to costly claims.
Professional liability insurance for laser vision correction clinics is crafted to address the specific realities of your practice. It protects you against claims related to professional acts performed by your team, whether by surgeons, optometrists, or technicians.
The experts at J. Gérard Fortin & Associates help you create personalized protection adapted to the complexity of your procedures. This allows you to continue providing quality care, with peace of mind, even in the most sensitive situations.
