Board-certified forensic pathologist and board-certified pediatrician offering dual expertise in autopsy pathology and pediatric clinical medicine. This combination is held by very few physicians in the United States. Dual certification enables expert opinions on both cause and manner of death and pediatric standards of care within a single engagement, eliminating the need for separate experts in cases involving pediatric, neonatal, and infant deaths. Experience includes medicolegal autopsies across the full spectrum of manner of death, service as an elected parish coroner in Louisiana, and over a decade of clinical pediatric practice encompassing primary care, hospital medicine, and emergency medicine. Academic appointments at three medical schools. Currently serving as the forensic pathologist for Hawaii County. Available to both plaintiff and defense.
