Vikki G. Hufnagel is no longer and doctor and had her license revoked. Check the internet regarding her record. It doesn't look too good. In June 2004, the Medical Board of California denied the petition of Vicki Hufnagel, M.D., to reinstate her medical license. In 1989 the medical board revoked Hufnagel's license on grounds of "incompetence, gross negligence, dishonesty, false billings and medical records, and repeated acts of clearly excessive use of diagnostic procedures in her care and treatment of six patients." However, the revocation was delayed until she lost her final court appeal in 1996. In 2003, she applied for reinstatement of her license. During the interim, she had stopped practicing medicine in California but continued to advise people and had performed at least ten operations at a Mexican clinic to which she referred patients. In 2004, in the document shown below, an Administrative Law Judge concluded that Hufnagel had "not exercised good judgment by electing to do surgeries on patients in Mexico and cannot be said to be rehabilitated from her earlier unprofessional conduct." Her medical licenses in New York and Hawaii have also been revoked. Hufnagel's Web site represents her as a "pioneer in advancing women's medicine and crusader for reproductive health rights and female reconstructive surgery." Her 1988 book No More Hysterectomies advocated unsubstantiated reconstructive procedures that she claimed would avoid the need for a hysterectomy.

Please make it mandatory in all states for women considering tubal ligation to have to undergo a psychological consult and a waiting period. Too many women are having this procedure done and then regretting it immediately thereafter.
