Frequently Asked Questions: Interventional Endoscopy Expert Witness
What types of cases does an interventional endoscopy expert witness handle?
An interventional endoscopy expert witness evaluates cases involving ERCP complications, EUS procedures, endoscopic perforation, endoscopic suturing, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), bariatric endoscopy (ESG, TORe), and other advanced endoscopic procedures. Standard of care and malpractice cases are common.
Why choose a gastroenterology expert witness with interventional endoscopy experience?
Interventional endoscopy involves procedures that most gastroenterologists do not perform. An endoscopist with current, high-volume, hands-on experience in complex ERCP, EUS-guided therapies, and advanced endoscopic procedures can speak to technical decisions and complication management in a way that a general practitioner cannot.
