Additional Information

Dr. Sara Mahmood, DPM, ABPMD, Expert Witness – Diabetic Limb Salvage, Wound Care, and Amputation Prevention I am a board-certified podiatric surgeon with additional certificate of qualification in amputation prevention and wound care, specializing in diabetic limb salvage and complex wound management. With over seven years of clinical experience at the University of Washington and advanced fellowship training in limb preservation from the University of California, San Francisco, I offer a rare depth of expertise at the intersection of podiatry, vascular surgery, and critical limb care. I routinely manages high-acuity cases involving diabetic foot infections, below- and above-ankle amputations, and complex ischemic wounds. My work emphasizes early intervention, multidisciplinary care, and the integration of advanced wound healing technologies. I am proficient in the clinical application and evaluation of a wide array of wound care devices and biologics, with firsthand insight into their effectiveness and limitations. As an expert witness, I am available to review all foot and ankle cases related to diabetic complications, infection management, surgical outcomes, standard of care, product failure, and amputation liability. His balanced, evidence-based perspective is informed by thousands of cases in both academic and high-volume hospital settings. To discuss expert case review or availability, please contact me.
