Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is unique to the practice of emergency medicine. It is NOT an ultrasound read by a remote radiologist who does not know the patient's condition. POCUS is an ultrasound done by the provider at the patient's bedside. Did your client perform one that made the diagnosis but was not stored because of a problem with the machine, the ultrasound software, or the electronic medical records? Multiple points in the POCUS process can go awry. I can help you to support your client. I have personally performed and also reviewed over 5, 000 POCUS exams in the last six years to identify many critical medical conditions including myocardial infarction, thoracic and abdominal aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and septic shock. I have used POCUS to prevent procedure-related complications. My significant experience in emergency medicine POCUS will benefit you and your client. My other qualifications include being a Cook County residency-trained, board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 25 years of clinical experience. Additionally, I am Advanced Emergency Medicine UltraSound Focus Practice Designated, the Ultrasound Fellowship Director, the Emergency Department Ultrasound Assistant Medical Director, the Graduate Medical Education Ultrasound Director, and core faculty for the emergency medicine residency program at Kaweah Health in Visalia, CA that has over 90, 000 patient visits a year. I will provide understandable, well-supported, clear opinions that are prompt, detail-driven, and with excellent accessibility. Sincere thanks for your interest in reviewing my credentials; I look forward to working with you.
