Additional Information

I am a board-certified anesthesiologist with extensive experience in hospital and ambulatory anesthesia, airway management, procedural sedation, perioperative medicine, and quality/safety leadership. I provide expert case review, standard of care analysis, causation opinions, expert reports, depositions, and trial testimony for both plaintiff and defense. My clinical background includes high-acuity surgical anesthesia, MAC and deep sedation, endoscopy/office-based anesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, regional anesthesia (epidural, spinal, peripheral nerve blocks), PACU care, and perioperative complications. I have leadership experience in quality improvement, morbidity and mortality review, sedation policy development, peer review, and systems-based safety initiatives. I provide clear, objective, well-supported opinions, timely turnaround, and the ability to explain complex anesthesia issues in plain language.
