Yes, you will need to take an attorney with you, since this type of investigation typically means that they are investigating one of two things. First, they are investigating malpractice claims against you based off of two patients going to another doctor to have their knees redone. Second, they are investigating a possible product liability issue with defective replacement knee products (which is generally the rare instance since the medical board rarely investigates product liability issues).

the statue of limitations for both of these to file suits has passed and they have not filed so do I need an attorney with that info to you, tx,bg
Okay, well that is good news for any civil Litigation for you, but the board can still consider administrative sanctions. According to the CA Business and Professions Code section 2230.5 requires that any Medical Board accusation be filed within three (3) years after the Board discovers the act or omission that forms the grounds for discipline against a physician, or within seven (7) years after the alleged act or omission actually occurred (whichever occurs first). Thus, if you are still within the sanction period, you should bring an attorney.
