Confidential records released this week show decades of warnings to the University of Southern California about Dr. George Tyndall, the longtime campus gynecologist accused of sexually abusing hundreds of students.
The caller, a former nurse who had previously worked at a women’s health clinic, said Tyndall’s care “was not good” and “if this was her first visit as an 18 y.o., she would never return to see a gynecologist.”
A student unhappy with Tyndall’s medical care in 1997 filled out a comment card saying she would never again visit the physician, calling him “the worst doctor I have ever seen in my life.” That year, concerns about Tyndall reached an administrator outside the student health center. Elizabeth Davenport, then assistant dean of student affairs, told Neinstein that she had met with a student who appeared deeply troubled by an encounter with the gynecologist.
One 2003 complaint noted that “once again GT is not allowing Mas [medical assistants] to be behind curtain when chaperoning MD during pelvic exams.” A year later, a nursing director brought up the curtain issue again to a supervising physician, writing, “I don’t believe this problem has been resolved.”
There were also complaints about unsanitary habits — trash and rotten food in his office — and the unexplained hours he spent in his office at night and on weekends. Less than three years later, a nursing supervisor frustrated by what she saw as administrators’ inaction sought advice from a rape crisis counselor. That led USC to put Tyndall on immediate leave in 2016, launch an investigation and hire MDReview, the outside medical consulting firm.
