A Florida doctor doing cancer surgery on a patient removed the wrong area, state says

MIAMI — Asking the patient to confirm where a cancer surgery should be performed after the patient had been given a sedative led to a Tampa area doctor performing a wrong site surgery, a state complaint said.

The administrative complaint against the license of Safety Harbor doctor Robert Davidson starts the discipline process. Davidson’s online Florida Department of Health license profile shows no previous disciplinary actions against the license he’s held in Florida since 2002.

An email from the Miami Herald to the address on his profile was not returned.
