Opinion

December 19, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Helen Freedman, J.).


The record supports defendants' contentions that plaintiff was examined at least 34 times over a three-month period prior to her suicide attempt, and that her psychiatric history was carefully documented and reviewed at all relevant times. We agree with the IAS Court that no issues of fact are raised as to whether defendants failed to exercise reasonable professional judgment in their treatment of plaintiff, the contrary conclusory opinion of plaintiff's experts notwithstanding ( see, Schrempf v State of New York, 66 N.Y.2d 289, 295-296). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Wallach, Rubin and Williams, JJ.
