A healthcare professional sitting in a medical office, wearing blue scrubs, a face mask, and a colorful cap, giving a thumbs-up gesture.

Let’s work together

I help brands, clinics, and health startups build credible, patient-centered foot & ankle stories/devices/revisions—and I bring an active double board-certified surgeon’s lens to product design, testing, and clinician education. No hype, no pseudoscience, just results.

What I’m Looking For in a Partnership

  • Evidence-first mindset: Claims we can stand behind (and cite).

  • Clinical usefulness: Products or ideas that actually improve outcomes or workflow.

  • Clear goals + realistic timelines: We set success metrics and stick to them.

  • Brand safety + compliance: FTC disclosures, accurate medical language, honest promises.

  • Long-term thinking: Iterative collaboration > one-off stunts.

  • Good humans: Professional, responsive, transparent.

Where I Can Help (Clinician + Surgeon)

  • Surgical Product Design & Development
    Input on implants, instruments, bracing/DME, perioperative pathways (ergonomics, indications, failure modes, real-world constraints).

  • Testing & Evaluation
    Cadaver labs, simulated-use testing, fit/function assessments, feedback loops that translate to meaningful revisions.

  • Clinical Consulting & Claims Vetting
    Indications/contraindications review, risk language, surgeon- and patient-facing messaging that stays inside the lines.

  • Demos, Training & Education
    OR in-services, lab demos, conference workshops, surgeon-to-surgeon walkthroughs, and team trainings.

  • Evidence Translation for Content
    Patient-friendly explanations, myth-busting, and clinician materials that are accurate and actionable.

Expert Witness & Case Review

I provide independent, evidence-based opinions for podiatry and foot/ankle matters. No hired-gun takes—just the standard of care, facts, and literature.

  • Scope: Standards of care, causation, complications, surgical decision-making, postoperative courses, wound care, biomechanics, and DME use.

  • Services: Record review, literature analysis, written opinions, deposition and trial testimony, IME as needed.

  • Sides: Plaintiff, defense, or neutral. Objectivity is non-negotiable.

  • Conflicts & Ethics: COIs screened up front; I disclose all relationships and recuse when appropriate.

  • Jurisdictions: Based in North Carolina; available nationally.

How I Work

  • Start with a short brief → align on goals, approvals, scope, and timelines.

  • NDA-friendly; conflicts disclosed upon request.

  • Educational and Professional collaborations only—no one-on-one patient consulting outside of my clinic.
