I am a Harvard-trained, Board Certified ophthalmologist who has completed a vitreo-retinal diseases and surgery fellowship. I have several publications in peer reviewed journals and am on staff at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, as well as in private practice in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
I am available for medical expert witness consultation both on the plaintiff's and on the defendant's side, in the field of ophthalmology. I also am available for independent medical exam consultations. I look forward to working with you soon.
