Medical Malpractice Expert Pharmacy Malpractice Expert Pharmacology Expert
Matthew C. Lee, MD, FAAIM, RPh, MS* Expert Witness in Medicine, Pharmacy, Pharmaceutics, Pharmcology.
As a physician, pharmacist, pharmacologist and researcher I have the unique and distinct perspective that no other expert has. In addition to my experience my multiple degrees support one another in being recognized as an expert by the courts.
I am a Physician (MD), Pharmacist (RPh) and Pharmacologist (MS) who also practices as an Expert Witness and Legal Strategy Consultant.
The lawyers I have worked with in the past have found the three degree (dual profession) extremely beneficial, time saving, and cost effective.
Some specific advantages of a dual profession expert:
-Increased quality and integrity of written expert reports, based on an expanded knowledge base (relative to single degree, single profession expert).
-The amount of time saved only having to coordinate and discuss a case with one expert, vs. two separate experts.
-The elimination of the risk of conflicting testimony between experts from the same side.
-Since there is so much overlap between fields in the medical profession it is often hard to determine where one scope ends and another begins. This ambiguity is dramatically decreased , and scope increased combining physician, pharmacist, and pharmacologist into one.
-Having the communication skills of a pharmacist and experience dealing directly with the lay-public, in addition to the knowledge and background of a physician is extremely beneficial describing technical details to a jury.
-Practicing in different realms within the healthcare field has allowed me to integrate the multiple facets giving me a unique and distinct perspective that no other expert has.
