A GOOD LAWYER PODCAST
SEASON 4 | EPISODE 12

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of A GOOD LAWYER PODCAST, COAST-TO-COAST HOST ESTEBAN STEVEN GARCIA sits down with ALEXANDRIA SEAY, Owner & Trial Lawyer at the formidable BIRD LAW GROUP of ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

This episode dives into one of the most disturbing medical malpractice and patient-safety controversies to surface in Georgia in recent years — the growing number of lawsuits involving Harvey “Chip” Cole, MD.

While licensed as an ophthalmologist — an eye doctor — Dr. Cole is NOT a board-certified plastic surgeon, yet numerous patients allege they underwent cosmetic facial procedures and surgical enhancements that ultimately left them permanently disfigured, scarred, or neurologically damaged.

Several former patients claim they entered his practice seeking cosmetic improvements — procedures involving the eyes, face, and surrounding structures — only to suffer devastating complications after surgery. Lawsuits filed in Georgia allege injuries ranging from severe facial deformities and nerve damage to impaired vision and permanent scarring.

In this compelling conversation, ALEXANDRIA SEAY breaks down the legal fight now underway and discusses:

• How these cases began to surface
• Why patients believed they were in the hands of a qualified plastic surgeon
• The devastating physical and emotional consequences many victims now face
• The legal complexities of medical malpractice litigation
• Why civil justice remains one of the only paths to accountability

BIRD LAW GROUP, known for taking on powerful institutions and high-stakes litigation, represents multiple plaintiffs seeking justice and accountability in the courts of Georgia.

Host ESTEBAN STEVEN GARCIA leads this intense and thoughtful discussion, examining not only the legal battle itself — but also the broader questions of medical ethics, credential transparency, and patient safety.

This episode is a sobering reminder that trust in medicine is sacred — and when that trust is broken, the law becomes the last line of defense.

A GOOD LAWYER PODCAST continues its mission of bringing listeners long-form conversations with some of the sharpest legal minds in America — cutting through the noise and delivering real insight from inside the courtroom and beyond.
