An Oregon man is suing his doctor after he sought treatment for depression fueled by his failing marriage and says he later learned that the doctor was having an affair with his wife.

Peirson Tone, 47, filed his lawsuit seeking $2.9million from Dr Ronald Rosen for professional negligence last week in Deschutes County Circuit Court, according to The Bend Bulletin.

Tone claims that he, his wife and their two children were patients of Rosens at his practice in Bend,Open Paths Integrative Medicine, from 2015 to 2018.

At some point during that period Rosen allegedly became involved with Tones wife, according to the suit.

Tone, who goes by his middle name Franchot, went to Rosen in November 2018 to treat depression he was experiencing because of issues with his marriage.

Rosen then prescribed marijuana and CBD and offered Tone counseling on how he could improve his relationship, the suit claims.

After the appointment, Tones wife allegedly informed him that she had been having an affair with the physician who is married and has two daughters of his own for an extended period of time. Tone and his wife divorced in 2019, according to court records.

As a result of [Rosens] conduct, [Tone] sustained emotional distress including the loss of his marriage and emotional and social destruction of his family, the suit states.

The suit was first reported by The Bend Bulletin, which described Tone as a musician and financial adviser for Merrill Lynch.

Tones attorney, James D Huegli, declined to comment when approached by the outlet and did not immediately return messages from DailyMail.com.

Rosen also has not returned messages left at his office in Bend. His wife Melanie also works at the practice as a registered nurse.

Records show Rosen has been licensed to practice medicine in Oregon since 1991 and has no prior cases of medical malpractice.

According to his website Rosen specializes in integrative medicine, which mixes traditional medicine with a range of holistic alternatives including acupuncture, nutrition and herbology.

My philosophy is to promote wellness and personal responsibility and avoid the use of pharmaceuticals or other invasive approaches if other, gentler, less invasive ones are available, Rosen states on the site.

Rosen is also a certified laughter yoga teacher, per his website.
