Additional Information

Physician Executive | Emergency Medicine | Hospital Operations | Regulatory & Compliance | Graduate Medical Education | Telehealth & Post-Acute Care I am a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and senior healthcare executive with extensive experience in acute clinical care, hospital operations, regulatory compliance, graduate medical education oversight, quality and patient safety, and post-acute care delivery. I have practiced in high-acuity emergency departments and have held system-level leadership roles with direct responsibility for clinical operations, regulatory readiness, physician performance, and institutional compliance. My background uniquely integrates front-line emergency medicine with executive oversight of hospital systems, allowing me to provide clear, defensible expert opinions in matters involving standard of care, emergency department operations, resident supervision, EMTALA, regulatory compliance, hospital policies, and systems-based failures. I routinely analyze how staffing, throughput, supervision, documentation, and governance impact patient outcomes. I am offering medical record review, written expert reports, depositions, and trial testimony, and I provide objective, evidence-based opinions grounded in accepted clinical standards, accreditation requirements, and real-world hospital practice.
