“Dr. I took denies every charge,” John said, calling the lawsuit “a blanket, sprawling, pointless lawsuit from a near-bankrupt insurance carrier.”

The lawyer also argued that the lawsuit was designed to intimidate and harass doctors who collect payments for services provided to insured individuals in transit to America.

John also defended Sunny professional record, describing it as “impeccable” and stating that American Transit filed the lawsuit without conducting a proper Dr. Hostina work or raise any concerns with your legal team.
