I am a busy practicing solo general ophthalmologist in the New York Metro area. After 32 years in practice I have 6000 patient interactions annually and perform more that 400 surgical procedures. I have functioned in the capacity as chart reviewer for civil liability claims and medical malpractice malpractice claims. I have served in the capacity of court room defense expert witness for medical malpractice cases and was once a defendant in a courtroom case. I have unique perspective and significant experience in all aspects of ophthalmic medical and surgical care. Additionally, I am well respected by my peers having been elected president of the Long Island Ophthalmological Society and currently I serve as President of the 600 member New York State Ophthalmological Society
