The California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (CALAOMS) has exclusively endorsed our medical liability insurance program since 1987. Founded by doctors in 1976 in response to a crisis in insurance affordability and availability, The Doctors Company remains fiercely committed to protecting the practice of good medicine. Today, we are the largest national insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability, with more than 46,000 insured doctors. Our medical liability program offers CALAOMS members a unique combination of coverage features, aggressive claims handling, industry-leading patient safety programs, and tangible economic benefits. |
