Additional Information

Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the emergency department is my area of expertise. I have personally done or reviewed thousands of point of care ultrasound exams in the last five years. If done correctly POCUS can identify or exclude a multitude of critical medical conditions including myocardial infarction, thoracic and abdominal aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism and septic shock among others. If the performance, interpretation or absence of a point of care ultrasound impacts your ability to advocate for your client, then my significant experience in emergent point of care ultrasound may benefit you. My qualifications include being a Cook County residency trained, board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 25 years of clinical experience. Additionally, I am Advanced Emergency Medicine UltraSound Focus Practice Designated, am the Ultrasound Fellowship Director, Emergency Department Ultrasound Assistant Medical Director, Graduate Medical Education Ultrasound Director and core faculty for the emergency medicine residency program at Kaweah Health in Visalia, CA. I will provide understandable, well-supported, clear opinions that are prompt, detail driven, and with excellent accessibility Sincere thanks for your interest in reviewing my credentials; I look forward to working with you.
