Emergency Medicine, Urgent Care Medicine - Standard of care, airway, cardiac arrest, Narrative report, sepsis, stroke, myocardial infarction, asthma, COPD, Causation, Failure to diagnose, Pain and suffering, Trauma, Heart attack, Pulmonary embolism, Aortic dissection, Subarachnoid hemorrhage, Cauda equine, Stroke, Pneumonia
I am board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. I’ve been practicing emergency medicine full time at one of the busiest emergency departments in the country for over ten years. I am co-chair of the Quality Improvement Committee, in which capacity I review systems and cases in a process to ensure patient safety. I also teach residents and medical students in my role as faculty at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. You need an expert who can communicate effectively; that’s honest, prompt and efficient at a reasonable cost. I pride myself on these qualities, which I bring to case review, report writing and testimony. I write and speak convincingly on my area of expertise- without a bloated retainer. Give me a call, I’m always willing to discuss a case with no obligation.
