Equipped with expertise in the healthcare industry and practice, I excel at evaluating medical operations and systems, liaising with providers, and developing detailed reports and chronologies.
Highlights of my experience include…
Leveraging in-depth medical background to effectively and accurately evaluate medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability, toxic tort, and other cases involving medical issues and concerns
Reviewing and interpreting complex medical records to assess their relevance and significance to cases; identifying and locating medical expert witnesses as needed to strengthen cases’credibility
Analyzing clients’injuries and conditions and helping to determine causation issues and contributing factors
Demonstrating unparalleled dedication to providing outstanding quality control and support for legal practices while forging solid and trusting relationships with physicians, staff, clients, and attorneys
My skills in medical consulting and nursing are exhaustive, and I am confident my additional strengths will readily translate to your firm. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
