Nasri v. Mountainside Medical
2026–present · acute surgical services
An independent surgeon sued a New Jersey hospital and two surgical groups on October 2, 2026 over access to emergency call. The case is new.
The story
The market alleged is acute surgery in one county.
The plaintiff says a vote capped who could take call.
No court has tested those facts.
Why it matters
Patients' choice of emergency surgeon is the stake.
What was claimed
Dominant groups excluded an independent surgeon from the hospital.
The other side
Hospitals say credentialing is a quality process. That defense is not yet a ruling.
What it means for you
Hospital call schedules do not change on filing day.
Bottom line
The Mountainside surgery case is live and newly filed.
