Additional Information

I am a board-certified neurosurgeon in clinical practice in Baltimore, Maryland since 1997. Within the field of neurosurgery, which includes the operative and nonoperative treatment of conditions of the brain, spine, and peripheral nerves, I can provide insurance, legal and government clients with additional insights in complex cases. Depending on the specific requirements of a case, I review medical records and imaging studies from the standpoint of causation of injury, standard of care in neurosurgery, pre-existing medical conditions and their impact on current complaints, the necessity and appropriateness of medical care, the reasonableness of charges for care rendered, the endpoint of treatment (i.e. MMI), impairment rating, as well as the need for, and estimated cost of, future medical care.
