A Florida doctor who cut off the head of a newborn’s penis during a circumcision has been linked to at least 14 other serious injuries.
A search of court and official records revealed Dr Berto Lopez, a 64-year-old OB-GYN, was linked to a litany of medical failures, including a mother-of-two who bled to death in the hospital after Dr Lopez went home to ‘go to bed.’
And a 31-year-old accused the physician of failing to fully remove her dead fetus, which led to her giving birth to its remains in a friend’s bathroom.
Between 1988 and 2021, six patients in connection to his care have died and he’s performed two botched circumcisions. In February 2021, his medical license was revoked.
In the latest case, parents said Dr Lopez told them their son’s post-circumcision bleeding was ‘normal’ but when they took him to the hospital the next day, other doctors were ‘visibly shocked’ by his injuries.

Last month, Dr Lopez was ordered by a jury to pay the family $100million for the injuries their son suffered from.
The review, revealed by The Palm Beach Post, showed Dr Lopez had been named in four disciplinary cases and nine other medical malpractice cases.
In the latest, it was revealed the doctor performed the circumcision, a surgical procedure where a baby’s foreskin – the fold of skin covering the head of the penis – is removed, for $250 on February 15, 2021.
This was just 10 days after his medical license had been officially revoked by the state over the death of a pregnant mother-of-two.
