Ophthalmology Case ConsultingMalpractice · Personal injury · Civil Litigation
Board-certified ophthalmologist providing independent expert opinions on standard of care, causation, and visual impairment — with clear testimony for plaintiff and defense counsel across malpractice, personal injury, and civil litigation.
Scope of review
Malpractice work turns on the standard of care. Personal injury and civil work turn on causation, permanence, and damages. I review both — grounded in current clinical practice and peer-reviewed science.
Posterior capsule rupture, dropped nucleus, IOL power and selection errors, LASIK and PRK outcomes, informed-consent disputes.
Missed retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, endophthalmitis, and untreated glaucoma progression on inadequate therapy.
Injection and laser complications, medication and steroid-induced toxicity, and ophthalmic findings missed in the broader workup.
Open-globe and orbital injury, chemical burns, surgical fires, and vision loss from auto, workplace, and assault cases — including triage failures.
Whether the incident caused the visual deficit, or whether the finding reflects prior, degenerative, or unrelated disease.
Permanent visual impairment and disability ratings, functional vision loss, and input on future treatment and life-care needs.
Ocular injury from devices, drugs, chemicals, and workplace or environmental exposure, with mechanism and causation analysis.
Independent medical exams, record review, and merit screening for plaintiff, defense, and insurance counsel.
Signed reports, affidavits, deposition, and trial testimony that explain ophthalmic care and outcomes to a lay jury.
How an engagement works
A short call to confirm no conflict and that the case fits my area of expertise before any records change hands.
An initial review of key records with a candid verbal opinion on whether the standard of care was met.
A signed report or affidavit setting out the basis for each opinion in plain, defensible terms.
Clear, composed testimony that explains ophthalmic care to a lay jury without overstating the science.
Qualifications
Retained across the docket
I take both plaintiff and defense engagements across malpractice, personal injury, and civil matters, because credibility on the stand comes from consistency, not from taking sides. Every review is held to the same standard regardless of who retains me.
