Patient / Medical Philosophy
- In 1995, I elected to focus my practice on sports and recreational injuries to the shoulder, elbow, knee, and ankle. Since that time I have served as a Team Physician for the University of California, Berkeley, and I am an orthopedic consultant to the AC Milan (Italy) professional soccer team. The vast majority of my patients are the active, educated, and highly motivated people that make up our local community. We believe in meeting patients' individual needs through comprehensive evaluation and treatment designed to help them achieve an active, pain-free lifestyle. Many musculoskeletal conditions can be treated by non-surgical techniques--surgery is just one treatment option. We combine leading edge techniques with proven traditional methods to provide our patients with the best orthopaedic care possible.

in the states of .
Medical malpractice is ordinary negligence by a healthcare provider which causes injury. Examples include being improperly diagnosed, treated, medicated or operated upon outside the standard of care. Standard of care is that level of care, skill and treatment which is recognized as acceptable and appropriate by a reasonably prudent similar healthcare provider under similar circumstances.
If your doctor has a closed malpractice claim in one of the states available to us, it will be listed here even if he/she no longer practices in that state. If your physician has malpractice claims from multiple states, evaluate the information for similarities. It is possible for multiple states to report the same claim because physicians are required to report all claims during the state licensing process.
Just because a physician has made a settlement (a claim settled out of court), it does not mean that he/she is a poor quality physician. Claim settlements may occur for a variety of reasons which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the physician's professional competence or conduct. A settlement payment on a medical malpractice action or claim is not a presumption that medical malpractice has occurred.
A malpractice judgment is a court order for a physician to pay a party a certain amount of money. This official decision by a court may or may not be based on a jury verdict; however, it is a conclusion that a civil wrong has occurred, typically based upon a preponderance of the evidence presented.
If your physician has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and make a determination. You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the physician.
