Expanding Litigation Alleges Abuse and Institutional Failures
SEATTLE, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fifty-one women have filed claims against OB/GYN Mark Mulholland and Providence-Kadlec, expanding ongoing litigation over an alleged pattern of doctor-patient sexual abuse, unnecessary surgery, and institutional failures.
The plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Tamara Holder of Tamara Holder Law and their Seattle co-counsel.. The lawsuits have been filed in King County Superior Court over the past year as additional individuals come forward.
The lawsuits allege Providence-Kadlec ignored decades of complaints that included alleged unnecessary pelvic exams and anal exams, forced c-sections, and unnecessary surgeries.
Attorney Holder added, "The World Health Organization reports that up to 59 percent of women experience obstetric or gynecologic abuse, including non-consented care, verbal mistreatment, and even physical abuse. These statistics are a call to action: healthcare institutions must be held accountable when they fail to protect women and mothers."
Dr. Mulholland was employed by Providence-Kadlec from 1999 until June 2025. The Washington Medical Commission has suspended Dr. Mulholland's license to practice medicine on women as it continues its investigation into multiple patient complaints of misconduct.
Anyone who has information about Dr. Mark Mulholland or the institutions where he worked is urged to contact the legal team immediately at www.drmarkmulhollandabuse.com.
