As of Dec 2022: I have been deposed over 100 times; reviewed over 975 cases for both defense and plaintiff including peer review, accidents, and malpractice. 52% defense / 48% plaintiff. I have qualified in Superior Court over 70 times and have never been disqualified on the stand or prior to trial. At least 95% of my time is spent in patient care.

I can be counted on to be ethical, competent, prepared, and analytical as well as articulate and persuasive at depositions and court appearances. As of Nov 2022, there are over 265 published articles, write ups and lectures in print, radio, and TV. (http://www.expertwitness.dental/)
