Board-Certified Internal Medicine physician and Associate Professor with 20+ years of continuous inpatient clinical practice across both large academic medical centers and mid-sized community hospitals (200-400 beds). Active academic hospitalist currently providing attending-level care and supervision at a major academic institution in Atlanta, Georgia. Available for independent medical record review, causation analysis, standard of care opinions, written reports, deposition, and trial testimony. Experienced in cases involving hospital medicine, diagnostic error, patient safety, clinical documentation, medication error, and attending physician oversight across varied inpatient settings. As an experienced hospitalist, I provide a systems-level view of inpatient care that complements specialist opinions. This perspective frequently identifies documentation gaps, coordination failures, and deviations from the standard of care that specialty-specific reviewers may overlook. My role requires synthesizing input across multiple services while maintaining accountability for the full clinical picture, a skill that translates directly to thorough and precise medical record review. Clinical scope includes diagnostic evaluation, acute medical management, inpatient documentation standards, multidisciplinary coordination, and systems-based care delivery across academic and community hospital environments.
