Our Attorney client's time and success are at the forefront of our main focus and goals.  Since time is a finite resource for Attorneys, we ensure our end product is intellectual and actionable, giving our clients maximum productivity for their firms.   Attorneys have little time to review medical charts, place information chronologically, and develop a summary of events to discover breaches in standards of care and regulatory compliance.   Interpretation of Medical terminology can be challenging for someone outside of Healthcare.  Healthcare is a rapidly changing science; evidence-based practices should support clinical decisions.

I am a board certified Internal Medicine physician who currently works as a Hospitalist in Atlanta, GA. A Hospitalist is a physician who works in the inpatient setting of a hospital. Therefore, when sick patients visit the ER and its determined that they need to stay hospitalized, I get the call to take care of them (in the medical floors or ICU). Due to my full time schedule being "5 ON, 5 OFF" (five days of inpatient work followed by five days OFF of work), this allows me time to take on medical expert cases. Previous to my time in Atlanta, I have worked full time in New York City and New Jersey. In addition, I have taken on Locums assignments in several other states and cities. In previous summers, I have participated in medical missionary trips over seas - such as Jamaica and Nigeria. When I'm home from saving the world (LOL), I spend time with my wonderful family. I have two daughters (ages 7 & 3) and a son (15 months). However, my greatest asset is my dear wife! Not only is ...
