My Professional Journey
My journey in medicine began at Wayne State University’s Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI, where I completed my Anesthesiology residency. I then pursued an Interventional Pain Management Fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco, specializing in advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques for complex pain conditions.
With a passion for objective, evidence-based assessments, I transitioned my expertise into the field of medical-legal evaluations. As a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME), I provide thorough, defensible evaluations for workers’ compensation and legal cases, ensuring accurate and fair medical determinations.
In addition to my medical training, I earned a Master’s in Healthcare Administration (MHA) from Cornell University, equipping me with the leadership and analytical skills needed to navigate the intersection of medicine and law. My background allows me to deliver clear, well-documented reports that support attorneys, claims administrators, and insurance professionals in making informed case decisions.
A Comprehensive Approach to Medical-Legal Evaluations
I believe that accurate and objective medical evaluations go beyond just assessing symptoms—they require a thorough understanding of each case. My approach integrates detailed medical assessments, functional analysis, and evidence-based reporting to provide clear, defensible QME evaluations for workers’ compensation and legal cases.
Every case is unique, and I take the time to carefully assess medical history, functional limitations, and diagnostic findings to ensure a comprehensive and well-documented evaluation. My focus is on providing impartial, legally sound reports that support fair case resolutions and help attorneys, insurance companies, and claims administrators make informed decisions.
Advocacy Through Medical-Legal Expertise
Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting fair and just medical determinations by providing thorough and objective QME assessments. I work to remove barriers to clear and accurate case resolutions, ensuring that every evaluation is comprehensive, evidence-based, and aligned with medical-legal guidelines.
