What is your approach to medical malpractice case review?

My approach is thorough, objective, and evidence-based. I:

• Carefully review all relevant medical records and imaging

• Analyze adherence to accepted dermatologic standards of care

• Identify deviations from standard practice when present

• Clearly explain complex medical issues in plain language
  My goal is to provide opinions that are medically sound, defensible, and easy to understand.

Do you work with plaintiff or defense attorneys?

I work with both plaintiff and defense attorneys. My opinions are independent and based solely on the medical facts, applicable standards of care, and current dermatology literature.

Can you help determine whether a case has merit?

Yes. Many attorneys engage me for an initial merit review to determine whether a dermatology malpractice claim is supportable. I provide candid feedback and will advise if the medical facts do not support a deviation from standard of care.

Are you available for depositions and trial testimony?

Yes. I am available for depositions, trial testimony, and consultation as needed. I have prior deposition experience and understand the importance of clear, concise, and credible testimony.

  Skin cancer cases are a significant focus of my expert witness practice.
