Hospitalist Internal Medicine

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

Board‑certified Internal Medicine physician (ABIM), Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), and experienced hospitalist with over 20 years of practice across Level I trauma and tertiary academic medical center, suburban and community hospitals, and large research institution. Trained at the Cleveland Clinic Health System, where I served as Chief Resident, I currently practice as a hospitalist within the Johns Hopkins Health System and at the NIH Clinical Center / National Cancer Institute (NCI). In this role, my focus is on inpatient internal‑medicine care, supporting the medical management of hospitalized oncology patients undergoing cancer treatment. I provide comprehensive hospitalist oversight by reviewing each case in depth, managing medical comorbidities, anticipating and preventing treatment‑related complications, recognizing clinical deterioration early, and escalating care when appropriate. I coordinate timely involvement of the necessary multidisciplinary teams and subspecialists to ensure efficient, high‑quality inpatient care. I previously served as Clinical Medical Director of the 4C Unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, where I was responsible for overseeing clinical workflows, leading multidisciplinary rounds, promoting evidence‑based practices, and providing physician and staff education to ensure high‑quality, efficient inpatient care. In legal matters, I provide objective, evidence-based opinions on the standard of care, causation, and clinical decision-making. My approach is rooted in a meticulous review of the medical record, ensuring that my findings are supported by documented facts and established medical literature. I translate complex inpatient scenarios into clear, logical narratives for the judge or jury. All expert witness and consulting work is performed independently through TABA Medical Expert, LLC.
