I am a Harvard and Cornell trained internal medicine physician with over 30 years of clinical experience mainly in ambulatory primary care and urgent care, and more recently in telehealth. I was Associate Professor of Medicine and Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital and held various leadership positions, investigator roles, and clinician-educator positions over my years there and at Cornell. My research and teaching seek to improve clinical quality by improving doctor-patient communication and relationships especially in culturally and linguistically diverse settings. I have extensive experience in teaching, publishing, grant writing, and working with industry to improve patient experience and outcomes. I developed an internet-based education program that improves medical care by teaching clinicians and other health care professionals how to communicate better with diverse patient populations. As an expert witness, I provide unbiased evaluations of the quality of medical care. I evaluate carefully whether there was a doctor-patient relationship and a duty to care, whether the standard of care was breached, and whether any breaches caused harm. My opinions are objective, and do not differ according to whether I am retained by the defense or the plaintiff. As an expert witness, I strive to serve not only as a diligent and objective expert witness, but also as a responsive consultant who helps attorneys develop their strategy for each case.
