Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I serve as the Associate Medical Director for Addiction Services at St. Luke’s University Health Network, within the Section of Addiction Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry—a position I have held since October 2024. Prior to this, I was the founding Chief of Addiction Medicine at Tower Health System, where I led the section from its inception in 2014 through 2024. I am actively involved in the education and training of future physicians. I teach medical students, interns, residents, and fellows through multiple academic affiliations, including Drexel University College of Medicine and its clinical partner, Tower Health. I also serve as faculty for the Caron Foundation Addiction Medicine Fellowship, as well as the Addiction Medicine and Pain Management Fellowship programs at St. Luke’s University Health Network. In addition to my administrative and teaching responsibilities, I continue to treat patients directly in an outpatient setting. I collaborate closely with providers across the continuum of care—including detoxification units, rehabilitation facilities, community clinics, and hospital-based programs. I regularly present at professional conferences and public forums, speaking on a broad range of topics related to addiction. My goal is to bridge clinical expertise, education, and advocacy to improve understanding and treatment of substance use disorders across all levels of care.
