I am a board certified emergency medicine physician, and actively practice at a level I trauma center, as well as a smaller community hospital. Additionally, I am an assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix, and actively teach in their simulation and innovation center.

I became interested in medical expert witness work while sitting on my hospital's medical staff quality committee, which reviews the quality and safety of patient care. Medicine is an imperfect science, and the care delivered to patient's can be incredibly nuanced, and sometimes there will be poor outcomes. You will find that I will be meticulous and honest in my review of the case. I will strive to deliver a well researched and candid opinion. I look forward to working with you.
