He operates daily on the same injuries he is asked to evaluate, and trains the neurosurgeons who treat them. His standard-of-care positions are not opinion. They are the standard.

Board-Certified Neurosurgeon · Chief of Spine, Swedish
Active clinical practice
10,000+ surgeries and still in the OR. He reviews cases involving the same procedures he performs weekly, and that clinical currency holds up on cross-examination.
500+ publications
7,400+ citations across 500+ peer-reviewed papers and 7 surgical textbooks, including peer-reviewed work on concussion and CTE anatomy. Academic depth that covers most lines of challenge.
DTI subspecialty
Published expertise in diffusion-tensor imaging and white-matter tract analysis. Few neurosurgeons can address DTI evidence with the same specificity.
Plaintiff and defense
Retained by both sides. A witness who only ever works one side is far easier to discredit. This is a credibility position, not a political one.
Trained at UVA under Dr. John Jane
Neurosurgical residency at the University of Virginia under Dr. John A. Jane, Sr., one of the most rigorous programs in the country.
