Mr. Jones claimed that Dr. Brannin misdiagnosed him with a torn rotator cuff, that he was improperly treated, and that he was then referred to Dr. Brannin's husband.

After receiving treatment, Gary Jones said that he experienced permanent tremors in his left arm which led him to become disabled and unable to work.  He claims serious, debilitating symptoms developed after he saw Dr. Brannin's husband.
