Courtroom-Qualified Expert Opinions from a Board-Certified Practicing Trauma Surgeon

Litigation demands experts who can communicate complex medical concepts clearly, withstand cross-examination, and defend their opinions with clinical and scientific grounding. As an active trauma surgeon, published researcher, and nationally credentialed surgical leader, I am prepared to serve as a medical expert witness in cases involving traumatic injury, general surgery and critical care. Through my experience as a associate program director for a surgical critical care fellowship and assistant professor of surgery, I can translate complex medical records and situations into a story that juries understand.
