A Tarrant County woman has sued her former doctors for more than $1 million, claiming they coerced her into gender modification treatment and a double mastectomy.
Soren Aldaco filed the medical malpractice lawsuit in a Tarrant County Court against five doctors — Del Scott Perry, Sreenath Nekkalapu, Barbara Wood, Richard Santucci, and Ashley DeLeon. Four companies are also named in the lawsuit.
