NEW ORLEANS – A Metairie sports therapy medical practice and one of its doctors are being sued by a patient who alleges she was injured during treatment.
Kristi M. Soileau filed suit against Dr. David J. Ware and Metairie Orthopedic and Sports Therapy in the 24th Judicial District Court on July 17.

An unspecified amount in damages is sought for pain and suffering, medical bills and expenses and loss of earnings.
