Anesthesia CRNA Standards of Care Expert Witness

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am a dedicated full time practicing anesthesia provider with 12 years clinical experience and cardiovascular ICU nursing experience dating back to 2005. Prior to my nursing degree in 2005, I joined the nursing internship program working in the same CV ICU unit for 2 years, in total 20+ years experience in the critcal care setting. My anesthesia practice has been in various institutional hospital-based sizes, including in a level 1 trauma center, rural hospital, and outpatient settings across multiple states. I have served as a clinical preceptor for student nurse anesthetist training programs throughout my career. I have worked in numerous facilities with varying surgeons, patient populations, and techniques involving different anesthesia modalities. As an anesthesia provider, my various work histories have allowed me to have a broader skill set, cultural awareness of many ethnic groups, and the ability to adapt to managing diverse clinical scenarios when presented with them. This diversified work history has afforded me a solid nursing and anesthesia background. Additionally, being a solo practitioner has allowed me to work more often in office-based clinics and ambulatory surgery centers, locations with the fastest-growing venue for anesthesia delivery outside the traditional hospital-based operating room, representing the highest-growing number of deaths outside of a hospital. My experience and knowledge working in these surgical suites, with their lack of infrastructure and safety nets inherent in hospitals, would benefit any malpractice anesthesia litigation. I am ready and eager to render my services for either a plaintiff’s or defense's attorneys and patients seeking my assistance.
