Expert Witness
Independent Spine Review.
Spine surgery opinions for plaintiff and defense counsel, developed from the available medical record. Findings, contrary evidence, and uncertainty belong in the same analysis.
Questions Addressed
Clinical questions, answered within the evidence.
Standard of care
What did the available clinical record show about the evaluation, decision-making, procedure, and follow-up in the circumstances at the time? A complication alone does not establish a departure from accepted care.
Medical causation
What findings support or weigh against a proposed causal relationship? What other medical explanations should be considered?
Consequences and future care
What functional findings and potential future spine care are supported by the records, within the scope of a spine surgeon’s expertise?
