1) CASE WORK:
Forensic Practice includes cases (both plaintiff
& defense) involving injury accident (including
occupational-workman’s comp.) and medical negligence.
I work in a spectrum of personal injury insurance forums
(state workman’s comp., self-Insured, federal (OWCP) and
private sector): I am regularly asked, feel comfortable
and do IME’s and comment, depose and/or testify in court
on diagnosis, treatment, causation, apportionment,
residuals, merit, standards, future treatment and
prognosis.
Careful attention to detail and clear statement to
reasonable medical certainty, based on evidence-based
medicine makes findings of medical fact accurate and
durable.
I work in my offices in Washington, Idaho, and Utah to
serve those areas as well as Nevada, Wyoming, Montana
and Oregon; 20% of my work is across the rest of the
U.S.

Orthopedic Surgical Experience:
My ongoing orthopedic work includes more than 35 years
of surgical experience in university, office and
hospital based diagnosis, treatment, surgery and
follow-up. I continue to consult for and lecture to a
broad spectrum of professional and community
organizations in my areas of focus including trial
attorneys, defense attorneys and insurance groups. I
keep up with the literature by regularly attending
hands-on and regular CME for surgery and forensics with
the established experts in the particular subject. |
