I am board certified by the American Board of Emergency Medicine. I’ve been practicing emergency medicine full time at one of the busiest emergency departments in the country for over ten years. I am co-chair of the Quality Improvement Committee, in which capacity I review systems and cases in a process to ensure patient safety. I also teach residents and medical students in my role as faculty at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. You need an expert who can communicate effectively; that’s honest, prompt and efficient at a reasonable cost. I pride myself on these qualities, which I bring to case review, report writing and testimony. I write and speak convincingly on my area of expertise- without a bloated retainer. Give me a call, I’m always willing to discuss a case with no obligation.
