This site lists my general availability and variations from
that schedule as well as any other important announcements. It is not an advertisement or a
solicitation, and is here only for the convenience of anyone who refers
patients and/or who might need to know my availability to appear in court or to
perform an examination, in addition to any other pertinent information.
All examinations begin with the taking of an
appropriate medical history from the person being examined. That includes filling out a thorough
questionnaire about the injury and general health as well as the marking of a
symptom diagram.
There is usually a Spanish-speaking
employee available. Persons to be
examined who cannot communicate satisfactorily in English but who do speak
Spanish, should verify in advance that assistance would be available from my
staff on the day of the appointment.
For all other languages arrangements must be made for a qualified
interpreter.
Except for examinations of very limited portions
of the arms or lower legs, the examinee should expect to be asked to disrobe to
his or her undergarments and females will be examined wearing a gown, open in
the back. Examinees should therefore be
advised to come to the office appropriately dressed (including undergarments),
so as to avoid personal embarrassment.
NORMAL SCHEDULE:
IME
appointments are normally made at no less than half hour intervals for Tuesday
and Thursday mornings, and for Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, (see below for

immediately.
