Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am an actively practicing pediatrician and pediatric hospitalist with 30 years of experience in caring for children. Top US medical school- Washington University in St. Louis educated and trained. Double board certified in both General Pediatrics and Pediatric Hospital Medicine. Experienced expert witness at both deposition and trial. Extensive teaching experience with medical students, interns and residents most recently as a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine. I also practice general pediatrics and care for children in outpatient clinics. Many of my colleagues shifted to either inpatient or outpatient clinical care when pediatric hospitalist programs were created.

I am willing to evaluate medical care for pediatric patients ages birth to approximately 20 years of age and have cared for children with a wide variety of medical conditions. I have cared for many patients with seizures, respiratory distress, asthma, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, newborn jaundice, newborn feeding difficulties, newborn distress, bronchiolitis, viral infections, sepsis, urinary tract and blood stream infections, suicide attempts, intentional and accidental overdoses, accidental injuries, child abuse and neglect, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, neurological conditions, dehydration, new cancer diagnoses, failure to thrive, head injuries, feeding difficulties, central lines infections, cellulitis, fractures, anaphylaxis, appendicitis, acute abdomen, pyelonephritis, abdominal abscess, status post appendectomy with and without complications, intestinal malrotation, PICC lines, complications of PICC lines, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, inflammatory bowel disease, anemia, recurrent vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, functional disorders, and many more pediatric conditions too numerous to list here.
