Onboarding Process
Onboarding
First Conversation
Please feel free to call, text, or email me. If you have a timeline, summary, legal filing, or medical records, I am happy to look at those before or during our initial conversation. A complete review however is needed before opinions regarding causality, standard of care, or damages can be rendered. It is my obligation to be fully versed on the medical facts and science undergirding each case I undertake. My fee, schedule, and resume are available upon request.
Experience Matters
I am a surgical and medical ophthalmologist whose experience includes over 10,000 procedures in the subspecialities of cataract, oculoplastic surgery, pterygium, glaucoma, laser floater removal and retina. I have served as an expert in all different spheres of ophthalmology from surgical complications to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Someone who loses vision from neglect or medical error can receive monetary compensation, but the vision loss is permanent.
Work with Legal Team
The goal is for me to learn about your case. Sometimes I am approached very early in the process–you are still trying to figure out the basic facts; other times you already have a thesis of when and where the errors occurred. In either scenario, I will formulate my opinions after my review of the records. I can assist with certificates of merit, reports, declaration, depositions, and trial testimony. The reports are written in precise language outlining the facts of the case and delineating deviations from standard of care.
My journey
As a solo ophthalmologist working in an urban setting, I diagnosed and treated a spectrum of eye diseases including glaucoma, cornea, retina, strabismus, uveitis and cataract. Longevity in practice has exposed me to cases that one may see only once or twice in a career.
My journey has been rewarding. I have combined my medical knowledge with analytical, writing, and presentation skills. Truth can be elusive. I am mindful of the important contributions of medical experts and am grateful for the role I can play.
