Medical Record Review & Analysis

Comprehensive analysis that uncovers critical details

What You Get

A thorough examination of medical records with focused attention on identifying details that impact case outcomes. I don't just summarize—I analyze for inconsistencies, protocol deviations, documentation gaps, and evidence of negligence or standards of care violations.

Specialty Focus: SANE/Forensic & NICU Cases

For Forensic/Psychiatric Cases: I decode complex SANE exams, trauma histories, and psychiatric records. I identify consent issues, injury documentation gaps, chain of evidence concerns, and inconsistencies in assault or abuse allegations.

For NICU/Birth Injury Cases: I analyze neonatal documentation for standard-of-care deviations, delayed interventions, monitoring gaps, and causation links between care decisions and adverse outcomes like hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or brachial plexus injuries.

What's Included

  • Complete medical record organization and indexing
  • Identification of missing or incomplete documentation
  • Analysis of care standards and protocol compliance
  • Timeline of significant medical events

Know if your case has legs before investing resources

Your Edge: 8 Years of Forensic/NICU Experience

My hands-on clinical experience allows me to quickly assess whether documentation supports allegations of assault, neglect, or medical malpractice. I can evaluate if birth injuries (HIE, brachial plexus, cerebral palsy) or trauma findings stem from negligence versus unavoidable complications.
