Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
A cause of action to recover damages for medical malpractice must be founded upon the existence of a doctor-patient relationship ( see, Heller v. Peekskill Community Hosp., 198 A.D.2d 265; Lee v. City of New York, 162 A.D.2d 34). The Supreme Court correctly determined that the defendants submitted proof in admissible form which established that there was no doctor-patient relationship between the plaintiff and any of the defendants.
The plaintiff's remaining contention is without merit.
Miller, J. P., Thompson, Pizzuto, McGinity and Luciano, JJ., concur.
