I enjoy performing detailed work, especially reviewing patient charts for medicolegal consultations.

My goal is to apply my cardiovascular medical education, training, and experience in order to arrive at fair, impartial, and timely opinions for all parties concerned. My clinical responsibilities included complex inpatient and outpatient care; daily CCU, ICU, and ER interactions; medical director oversight of the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program and of the Congestive Heart Failure/ Healthy Hearts Clinic; and invasive procedures in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. I am also enthused about medical research.

I have prepared reports for both Defense and Plaintiff attorneys; I have worked with insurers. I attempt to provide "disinterested" reviews by articulating the only school-of-thought that befits the database; my perennial focus has been on tobacco abuse. I completed Oncology/Hematology Fellowships at Sloan-Kettering and Hahnemann; I have been in continuous solo-practice since 1981. I was President of a Medical Staff and, thus, am familiar with the JCAHO system; I was deeply involved in Organized Medicine for 20 years and, thus, am familiar with policies generated by professional entities. I have scrutinized the law and how it influences medical and administrative procedures; the interface between law and medicine continues to fascinate.
