A prominent obstetrician-gynecologist has filed a lawsuit against his former business partners and associated entities, alleging defamation, tortious interference, and breach of fiduciary duty. Dr. Kenneth Konsker lodged the complaint in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida on July 19, 2024, naming Aaron Sudbury, Genevieve Roberts, Kathy Kraay, Florida Woman Care LLC (FWC), and Unified Women’s Healthcare LP as defendants.

Dr. Konsker’s complaint details a long-standing professional relationship that turned sour following corporate restructuring and disagreements over management practices. According to the filing, Dr. Konsker co-founded FWC in 2009 before selling a controlling stake to private equity groups that restructured the company under Unified Women’s Healthcare LP. Despite this sale, Dr. Konsker continued to manage Care Center 001 and expanded his practice significantly until tensions arose over corporate decisions he opposed.

The lawsuit claims that Dr. Konsker’s resistance to certain corporate policies led to friction with the defendants. He alleges that his efforts to maintain physician autonomy were met with hostility from the new management structure. This tension is highlighted by emails from another physician member, Dr. Maureen Whelihan, who expressed similar frustrations with FWC and Unified’s leadership regarding their management practices and accounting issues.
