Be certain. If you are certain, then make a police report.

Confront the doctor. He will deny it but it puts him on notice that patients will not put up with that conduct. But unless you can find other women who have the same experience, you do not have of a case and the police probably will not do anything.

1. Find another doctor. 2. While it is possible to make a complaint to the medical society or state board of examiners, you can badly ruin someone's reputation by merely making the complaint, so you should not do so unless you are entirely certain that the doc touched you in an inappropriate and sexual way.

This is not a personal injury case but a criminal complaint file with police department or licensing board.

Complain immediately. The longer the delay, the less credibility the victim has. If the groper has a supervisor or works for a clinic or hospital, call and make a complaint.

File a police report relative to possible criminal charges. After the police investigate, it will be up to the Prosecutor as to whether they believe there is enough evidence to pursue the matter. You could also consult civil counsel regarding filing a possible civil law suit against the doctor. Such cases require reasonable evidence to prove your case by a preponderance of the evidence. Also damages have to warrant the cost of pursuing the case.
