> 10Additional Information
I am a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician and Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine with over a decade of experience practicing in both community and academic emergency departments. My clinical expertise includes high-acuity emergency care and resuscitation of critically ill patients, neurological and cardiovascular emergencies, trauma, sepsis management, and the use of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to support timely diagnosis and clinical decision-making. Since 2020, I have served as Director of Sepsis Quality Improvement, leading institutional initiatives focused on improving sepsis recognition, treatment, and outcomes. In this role, I routinely perform detailed retrospective case reviews and root-cause analyses, evaluating adherence to emergency medicine standards of care and evidence-based sepsis management. This work has strengthened my expertise in identifying early clinical indicators of infection and sepsis, and in assessing the timeliness and appropriateness of emergency department evaluation and treatment. I am also actively involved in medical education and research, teaching residents and medical students while authoring and presenting peer-reviewed work at regional, national, and international meetings. As an expert witness, I provide objective, evidence-based medical opinions for both plaintiffs and defendants, including case review, written reports, depositions, and trial testimony. My opinions are grounded in current medical literature, national guidelines, and real-world clinical emergency medicine practice.
