Saint Petersburg, Florida

Obstetrics & Gynecology, Gynecology - High risk OB, Quality committee member, Low risk OB, Gynecologic Surgery, Hospital credentialing

I am a very experienced Board Certified OB/GYN who has been in clinical practice for 24 years. I was in private practice for 22 years doing both Ob and GYN including surgery and high risk OB. I left private practice 1.5 years ago and have become an OB/GYN hospitalist allowing me more time for non-clinical work. I have been involved in Quality Committees throughout my career which involved a lot of peer and case reviews. I was Chairman of the OB/GYN department at my prior hosptial and I was chair of the Quality Committee for 4 years and otherwise a member of the committee. I also did case reviews for Medicaid on the side for several years. I have always been up to date on the current literature and am very good at case review. I am also calm and have done well in the depositions I have been involved with throughout my career. I look forward for future case reviews and being an expert witness.
