PER CURIAM.
Susan Ross appeals following the district court’s 1 dismissal of her pro se complaint. Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
1 The Honorable Matthew T. Schelp, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. After careful review, this court finds no basis for reversal. See Mo. Rev. Stat. § 538.225 (affidavit required in action against health care provider for damages on account of rendering or failure to render health care services; court shall dismiss action if plaintiff fails to file affidavit); Mathison v. United States, 44 Fed. Appx. 27, 29 (8th Cir. 2002) (unpublished per curiam) (failure to comply with affidavit requirement excusable only where defendant’s liability can be established without expert testimony; plaintiff’s claims of dental malpractice required expert affidavit).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
