The discovery that a Batavia, Illinois chiropractor secretly recorded nude patients, including minors, during treatment sessions has resulted in multiple felony charges and civil litigation, raising profound concerns about patient privacy in healthcare environments. Dr. David Hanson, owner of Hanson Family Chiropractic, faces criminal prosecution after investigators uncovered more than 180 hidden-camera recordings made without patient consent in treatment rooms. The Kane County State's Attorney described the case as one of the most egregious violations of patient privacy ever encountered, noting that patients believed they were receiving legitimate medical care while being recorded in various states of undress.
One victim has retained Dixon Law Office to pursue legal action against Dr. Hanson, alleging she was secretly recorded during red-light therapy sessions where patients disrobe in private rooms. G. Grant Dixon III, founder of the firm, stated this constituted sexual exploitation under the guise of medicine, violating patients during intimate and vulnerable moments. The case underscores the vulnerability of individuals in therapeutic settings where complete trust in medical professionals is required, with the systematic violation of that trust sending shockwaves through the community and healthcare industry.
The criminal case represents one of the largest-scale violations of medical privacy in recent Illinois history, with potentially thousands of patients affected beyond the immediate victims. This situation highlights the urgent need for enhanced privacy protections and oversight in medical facilities, particularly in treatment settings requiring disrobing. Dixon Law Office is actively investigating additional claims and has established an online presence at https://www.AttorneysMakingItRight.com where concerned individuals can find information, though the firm emphasizes its focus on holding Dr. Hanson accountable for the trauma caused and trust destroyed.
