I am an experienced board-certified gastroenterologist, trained at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Duke University Medical Center. I have practiced in the Tampa Bay area for over 35 years, where I have both directed my own practice, and was instrumental in the formation of a large single specialty group practice. I have been involved in the formation and management of several endoscopy centers, and have been the Chief of Endoscopy at a large regional hospital for several terms. I have been on the American College of Gastroenterology Practice Management Committe, which included medical legal issues, and co-chaired a national conference for the ACG on practice management. I am open to reviewing cases for both defendants and plaintiffs, including depositions and trial testimony. In addition, I have also reviewed records and offered my expert opinion related to potential food-borne illness assertions and medical causation.
