Medical therapy can be complex, sometimes confusing, and often involves multifaceted decision making. Unfortunately, there are times when an outcome is considered suboptimal. This may lead to litigation. It is vital to have unbiased and impartial input from a respected expert to help understand what is often a vast amount of medical data and have a thorough analysis of that data.

Dr. Armstrong is extremely accomplished in the analysis of complex medical data and the standard of care for that data. He has provided testimony in numerous depositions and in court. This input may involve any aspect of a case including information for litigators, defendants, and patients.

Dr. Armstrong is experienced in providing comprehensive case analysis and evaluation including expert witness testimony. Individual cases are analyzed in an unbiased manner. The input may range from simple case analysis to expert witness deposition and direct testimony in court.
Physicians:
We provide input for physicians who have questions regarding litigation. For most physicians litigation is a stressful and confusing process. It is helpful for physicians to have someone who can assist with guidance in this process.
The scope of "malpractice", or "a violation of the standard of care" allegations is vast. It is not uncommon for physicians to face extremely hypothetical allegations regarding the expert care they have provided. In other cases, analysis of the date may not be as clear. We work with physicians to assist in an understanding of the scope of any litigation they may be facing with an unbiased evaluation of the data. We work with physicians to provide input regarding the scope of this process. There is no charge for initial consultation.
Independent medical evaluations:
We provide unbiased, evidence-based input for independent medical evaluations for patients and insurance companies. All cases are reviewed in detail in order to provide a fair and equitable evaluation of the available data.
