I have been studying the brain and memory for over 40 years, and I have served as an expert witness on memory-related cases for the past 16 years.

In a related area of expertise, I recently retired as a career scientist in the Department of Veterans Affairs, with 30 years of research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I ...

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 have brought to years of 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.

I have consulted on civil and criminal cases involving brain injuries, dementia, substance abuse leading to neuropathological processes, medical errors, birth trauma, perinatal brain damage, as well as complex medical problems that lead to death. Most of my practice has been on the side of the plaintiff/complainant. Last 2 cases (2022): 1) against a plastic surgeon who failed to examine the patient for deep vein thrombosis--patient died from pulmonary emboli shortly after surgery; 2) defense- stillbirth with a complicated medical course exacerbated by congenital brain anomalies. I have testified in court and given depositions.
