Description

[116 A.D.2d 1012 Page 1012] Order unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and matter remitted to Supreme Court, Ontario County, for further proceedings, in accordance with the following memorandum: Defendant Dr. Arseneau, a board-certified radiologist who examined and evaluated diagnostic X rays of plaintiff's intestate, based her motion for summary judgment in this medical malpractice action upon her own affidavit as a medical expert. She attached to her affidavit and reviewed in detail the decedent's X-ray records before concluding that she did not deviate from good and accepted medical practices in radiology and that her interpretation of the X-ray films was reasonably accurate and correct. Her affidavit dealt fully with the claims raised in the pleadings, contained more than bare, conclusory assertions that she followed good and accepted medical practices in radiology and entitled her to summary judgment (cf. Winegrad v New York Univ. Med. Center, 64 N.Y.2d 851). The responding affidavits submitted by plaintiff which made reference to an attached unsigned expert report and notes of an unidentified expert contained no acceptable medical proof rebutting the conclusion that the defendant was not negligent. Expert opinion evidence from a party defendant in a medical malpractice action which is otherwise sufficient to show entitlement to summary judgment requires some expert response from plaintiff on the question of alleged deviation from proper and approved medical practice (Neuman v Greenstein, 99 A.D.2d 1018; see, Pan v Coburn, 95 A.D.2d 670; Himber v Pfizer Labs., 82 A.D.2d 776, 777). Since plaintiff did not identify her alleged experts, nor reveal their qualifications, this proof cannot be considered to be evidence of the type required to defeat a motion for summary judgment. [Where] the moving party has demonstrated its entitlement to summary judgment, the party opposing the motion must demonstrate by admissible evidence the existence of a factual issue requiring a trial of the action or tender an acceptable excuse for his failure so to do (Zuckerman v City [116 A.D.2d 1012 Page 1013]
