I am board certified in Internal Medicine. I have been an outpatient medicine physician for the past 40 years. I recently served as an expert witness for a standard of care case for the State of Ohio. I enjoyed the thorough review of medical records, guidelines, and relevant literature to ascertain whether the actions taken by the healthcare provider involved were in line with accepted medical standards. My expertise as an internal medicine expert witness was vital to this case. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to bear on the medical aspects of the matter at hand, and my testimony will provide the court with a well informed and impartial analysis of the medical issues involved. I have reviewed the SEAK Expert Witness Training course over the past 12 months.
