I am a board certified Internal Medicine physician who currently works as a Hospitalist in Atlanta, GA. A Hospitalist is a physician who works in the inpatient setting of a hospital. Therefore, when sick patients visit the ER and its determined that they need to stay hospitalized, I get the call to take care of them (in the medical floors or ICU). Due to my full time schedule being "5 ON, 5 OFF" (five days of inpatient work followed by five days OFF of work), this allows me time to take on medical expert cases. Previous to my time in Atlanta, I have worked full time in New York City and New Jersey. In addition, I have taken on Locums assignments in several other states and cities. In previous summers, I have participated in medical missionary trips over seas - such as Jamaica and Nigeria.
When I'm home from saving the world (LOL), I spend time with my wonderful family. I have two daughters (ages 7 & 3) and a son (15 months). However, my greatest asset is my dear wife! Not only is ...

I am a Board-Certified internist and for the past eighteen years I have been working full-time in Graduate Medical Education (GME) , academic medicine, as Program Director for an Internal Medicine residency. I completed my residency at University Medical Center in Las Vegas including a year as Chief Resident. In my last year, 1999 , I was given the Resident of the Year and the Out Patient Clinic Resident of the Year awards.
I have been providing my services as a part-time endeavor and now I'm ready to go full-time. Included among my many skills is the fact that I am very adept at picking apart other physician's expert opinions and do not hesitate to sharply criticize them. I have provided written opinions on cases that ranged from relatively straight forward to two inmate, in-custody deaths.
I see things others don't see.
