I have been employed as a full time, medical legal consultant for a large personal injury and medical malpractice law firm in New York City. Currently, I investigate, analyze and review cases of alleged medical malpractice and locate experts in the fields of medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, throughout the United States. With over 30 years of clinical experience, I am considered an "expert" in the subspecialty of adult and pediatric urologic surgery.
