OWENS, J.

In this medical malpractice action, plaintiff appeals as of right an order granting defendants Alfred K. Bediako; Hillsdale Obstetrics & Gynecology, P.C.; and Hillsdale Community Health Center (HCHC) summary disposition on the ground that plaintiff failed to file a valid affidavit of merit with her complaint and her action was therefore time-barred. We reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
