Christopher Smythies, MD, FAANS

Neurosurgery and Head Injury Expert Witness

Neurosurgical Forensics LLC

Medina, Washington
Neurological Surgery - Neurosurgeon, Brain Injury, Concussion, Spinal Cord Injury, Ruptured Disc, Back Pain, Neck Pain, Cervical Fusion, Lumbar Stenosis, Brain Hemorrhage, Brain Tumor, Paralysis
From the Operating Room to the Courtroom. Board-certified neurosurgeon in active practice for 35+ years. University of Alabama at Birmingham trained. Gulf War veteran with extensive experience treating battlefield head injuries. Fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. My focus is on brain, although happy to review spine cases too. Attorneys depend on accurate medical guidance. I work with both plaintiff and defense and bring the same level of commitment and objectivity to each. I don’t sell opinions—I give them. Sometimes they help a case; sometimes they don’t. I base them strictly on the evidence and my clinical experience—taking principles I’ve learned in the operating room and putting them to good use in the courtroom. My goal is to bring clarity to complex medical issues so lawyers, judges, and juries can make informed decisions. In law as in medicine, professionalism matters.
