years treating injured patients from auto, slip/fall, work, domestic, and recreational injuries. I have performed many depositions and a few trials. Evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of spine and extremity injuries.
I am just getting started in this area. I worked with a chiropractor in Las Vegas who was one of the top IME DC's in Las Vegas. I studied the 5th edition but ended up her in Florida with the 6th edition. In my private practice I rented space to IME DC's and MD's. So, although I have never performed an actual IME impairment, I have witnessed the process and procedures and have had experience learning from others. I have 35 years of clinical experience with the focus on personal injury (auto, work, fall), sports injuries, and both chronic and acute lumbar disc pathologies. I have worked with many attorneys over the years which includes multiple depositions and a few trials. I have done record reviews in the past. I have excellent clinical skills, very proficient in thorough examinations, and report writing. I can be very objective as well.
