Additional Information

I am actively practicing Wound Care and Infectious Diseases and have nearly two decades of experience in both areas. I have worked in various practice settings and am knowledgeable about corresponding standards of care. I provide expertise and have testified in both Wound Care and Infectious Disease-related cases. I teach medical and nursing students and perform peer reviews for one of the leading national wound care journals, "Advances in Skin & Wound Care." Besides being Board Certified in Infectious Diseases and CMET-certified in Wound Care, I am also Board Certified in Internal Medicine. In addition, I hold certifications in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Lymphedema Therapy. I ranked in the top 10% of doctors in training nationally and have stayed current with general medical topics throughout my career as a subspecialist. In 2022, I received a national award for Outstanding Contributions to Wound Care. I am also an NPIAP group member for the development of the 2025 edition of "Prevention and Treatment of Pressure Ulcers/Injuries: Clinical Practice Guidelines." While detail-oriented, I can see the big picture of a case. I am apt at analyzing complex medical facts, synthesizing them, and presenting them in digestible form to a lay audience. I provide a prompt and thorough expert opinion, and my well-researched reports reflect the standards of care at the given time. Trial Experienced. All proceeds from my medicolegal work are donated to national and international charities and non-profits.
