Specialties and Services
Global Occupational Medicine Expertise You Can Trust
My specialities have helped organizations, legal professionals, and workers navigate complex occupational health questions with clarity, confidence, and scientific rigor.
Whether you need a single independent medical evaluation or ongoing strategic Occupational Health leadership, you will receive independent, timely, and defensible guidance.
Key areas of specialty:
Independent Medical Evaluations (IME) & Medico‑Legal Opinions
Independent Medical Evaluations are a core pillar of this practice. Assessments are designed to withstand adjudication, arbitration, and litigation while cutting through ambiguity and conflicting opinions.
Each IME or medico‑legal review includes a comprehensive analysis of medical records, investigations, workplace information, and prior reports. Opinions address diagnosis, causation, impairment, restrictions, prognosis, and compatibility with work demands, with a consistent focus on clarity, independence, and scientific rigor.
These evaluations help insurers, employers, unions, government agencies, law firms, and IME companies move complex files toward fair, timely, and well‑supported resolutions.
Complex Medical & Causation Analysis
Many occupational cases involve overlapping conditions, multiple exposures, and years of medical history. Complex files need more than a standard clinical opinion; they require deep, integrated analysis.
This service focuses on unraveling difficult occupational cases, including cancers, respiratory diseases, toxicology issues, psychological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and multi-system disorders. Using a structured, evidence-based approach, each case is examined through the combined lenses of clinical medicine, exposure science, toxicology, job analysis, and legal reasoning.
You receive clear, defensible conclusions on diagnosis, causation, aggravation, and work-relatedness presented in language that decision‑makers, adjudicators, and legal professionals can understand and act upon.
Occupational Health Leadership & Medical Directorship
Beyond individual cases, many organizations need strategic Occupational Health leadership to manage risk, govern health programs, and support sustainable return‑to‑work.
Through virtual Medical Director and advisory arrangements, organizations gain access to senior Occupational Medicine expertise without the need for a full‑time internal role. Services can include corporate health governance, policy and program development, disability and return‑to‑work strategy, health surveillance design, risk communication, and input on complex or high‑profile cases.
The goal is to align clinical insight, operational reality, and organizational objectives—supporting healthier workplaces, better decisions, and reduced long‑term risk.
