I am double board certified in Otolaryngology/ Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery and have been in practice since 2009.
I have worked at top hospitals including Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and I trained at Tulane in New Orleans and Mount Sinai in New York City.
I did a one year fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery in Tampa, Florida. I also co-own a medical spa so have extensive experience in that realm. I also co-own a hearing aid business so have extra experience with hearing loss and tinnitus beyond the usual clinical scope of practice. I have worked in VA settings throughout my training.
Currently I practice in the State of New Mexico on which I volunteer for the New Mexico Medical Review Commission which is a panel that reviews all malpractice cases brought in the state, this brings insight in how to review whether there is evidence of deviation from the standard of care, causation of harm, reasonable doubt, etc.

Highly experienced cosmetic surgeon in active clinical practice. Board-certified in plastic surgery, hand surgery, and general surgery. Georgetown and UPenn educated/trained. Well published. Significant teaching and research experience. Experienced expert witness – has reviewed over fifty cases and testified several times at deposition and trial.
Complications in surgery and identifying causes of death are critical, requiring an in-depth record analysis 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 records, and the condition of the patient all must be looked into to determine what happened.
