Additional Information

I am a board-certified pediatrician with 35 years of diverse clinical experience and am currently in full-time private practice, providing care across the full spectrum of general pediatrics. My active clinical role ensures that my opinions are grounded in current standards of care and real-world pediatric decision-making. I have been retained in pediatric medical malpractice matters for both plaintiffs and defendants, including cases involving allegations of child abuse. My experience includes deposition and courtroom testimony, as well as detailed case review and medical record analysis. Colleagues and retaining attorneys value my work for its objectivity, attention to detail, and careful consideration of clinical nuance. Having spent decades teaching medical students, pediatric residents and nurse practitioners, I bring a broad perspective to complex cases and am adept at identifying how medical decisions are made in real clinical settings. I am particularly skilled at communicating medical findings clearly and precisely, translating complex pediatric concepts into language that is understandable and credible to judges and juries. My goal in every case is to provide a thorough, unbiased analysis that assists counsel in evaluating standard of care, causation and medical decision-making.
