Direct physician access. Honest opinions. Clear writing.

Independent by design

Retentions are considered from either side. The goal of a review is a defensible, evidence-based opinion, not an outcome negotiated in advance.

Directly accessible

Case discussion, review, and correspondence are handled directly by Dr. Black. No intake specialist, no associate review.

Written for a lay reader

Reports and testimony are drafted with attorneys, and ultimately juries, in mind: precise medicine, framed in language a non-clinician can follow.
