I enjoy performing detailed work, especially reviewing patient charts for medicolegal consultations. I have worked with both defense and plaintiff law firms, and have usually been successful in helping cases be settled rather than go to court.

I have been practicing Hematology, Oncology, and Internal Medicine in Virginia since 1992. For 7 years I was Assistant Professor of Medicine at VCU and since then have been in private practice. I served on the management team of a 20+ physician private practice for 10 years, including 3 years as managing partner. I worked continuously over that time developing ways to make medical record keeping more accurate and concise, providing benefits to all who might need to access or understand a patient's medical records. I have reviewed a wide variety of cases with regard to standards, causation, liability, and life-expectancy.
