Independent. Objective. Evidence-Based.
Whether providing clinical care or medical-legal evaluation, my approach is grounded in sound orthopedic principles, careful review of the medical record, and objective analysis. Independent Medical Evaluations are performed separately from clinical practice and do not establish a treating physician relationship.
