0Additional Information
I am a board-certified Physician Assistant with over 25 years of clinical experience, including 16+ years as a home care specialist. I am the current owner and CEO of a non-medical home care agency, providing me with direct, hands-on, real-time expertise in home care operations, PCA/CNA supervision, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. My expert opinions focus on home care standard of care, supervision failures, caregiver training deficiencies, and quality assurance breakdowns in non-medical home care settings. This includes evaluating: Supervisory visit adequacy and oversight protocols PCA/CNA training and competency standards Care coordination and communication failures Failure to escalate care Home care and Home Health standard of care. Medication error patterns in home care Abuse and neglect detection mechanisms Home care agency policies and their implementation Documentation and clinical record deficiencies My operational experience distinguishes me from clinical-only experts. As a current agency owner, I identify which supervision gaps are negligent and which reflect standard practice. I serve both plaintiff and defense. Known for meticulous documentation review and identifying discrepancies others miss. Analyses are thorough, organized, and evidence-driven. Clear, defensible opinions for attorneys, judges, and juries. Available for record reviews, expert reports, depositions, and trial testimony.
