Highly experienced cosmetic surgeon in active clinical practice. Board-certified in plastic surgery, hand surgery, and general surgery. Georgetown and University of Penn educated/trained. Well published. Significant teaching and research experience. Experienced expert witness – has reviewed over 75 cases and testified many times at depositions and trial.
Complications in medical care and surgery can occur, however, identifying the root causes of a problem or even a death are critical, requiring an in-depth record analysis, record of reviews, and witness depositions. The approach I take is similar to what the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) performs after an airplane crash. There is always one place in a disaster which can be identified as the causation. The surgeon, anesthesia, medical staff, institution, laboratory data and tests, plus the condition of the patient all must be looked into to determine what happened to determine any possible liability.
