Critical Care & Anesthesiology- Full Professor

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I have reviewed numerous medical-legal cases from the OR and ICU for approximately a decade, for both the Plaintiff and Defense. I am a Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Critical Care at the University of Pennsylvania. I hold triple board certification (anesthesiology, critical care, echocardiography), I have advanced training in patient safety from Harvard, and I am the Patient Safety and Quality Officer for Anesthesia and Critical Care. I am highly experienced at analyzing patient injuries in the intra-operative and post-operative periods and determining their causes. My clinical work is divided between the OR and Heart Vascular ICU. I have extensive experience with patients undergoing routine outpatient surgery, as well as critically ill patients in the OR and ICU suffering from heart failure, respiratory failure, kidney failure and dialysis, sepsis, and shock. I routinely care for patients on ECMO, impella, and other forms of mechanical circulatory support. I regularly work with residents, CRNA, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. I have published dozens of medical papers on topics in the fields of anesthesiology and critical care medicine, am on the editorial boards of multiple medical journals, and have lectured internationally on topics in anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and patient safety and quality improvement.
