He regularly leverages his medical insight to help his clients achieve favorable outcomes in a range of complex medical claims.

Education

Michael is originally from New Jersey. He attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA, where he obtained his bachelor’s (B.A.) cum laude with distinction in chemistry/biochemistry and his masters (M.S.) in chemistry.

After college, Michael attended the Sidney Kimmel Medical College (formerly Jefferson Medical College) and graduated with his M.D. degree. He completed his medical internship at Cooper Medical Center in Camden, NJ, and then his residency in anesthesiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. He achieved board certification in anesthesiology and is currently a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology.

As an anesthesiologist, Michael has both personally performed and supervised a range of surgical cases and procedures across all age groups. From newborns needing stomach surgery to adults undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass to have a new heart transplanted, Michael has seen medicine work well and, unfortunately, has seen the common pitfalls and errors that can lead to a poor outcome.

Outside of the clinical side of medicine, Michael also served as medical director of his fifty-member department of anesthesiology. In this role, he worked with medical insurance companies to ensure payment, worked on hiring and firing other physicians and CRNAs/AAs, and negotiated contracts with hospital systems to ensure anesthesia coverage at numerous different sites. In addition, Michael also served as Chief of his department and sat on multiple hospital committees, including the medical executive committee. As a medical executive committee member, he saw the quality and safety issues that occur in hospitals and how these issues led to medical errors that injured patients.

Michael graduated with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Law. During law school, he was a staff member at the North Carolina Law Review and completed internships in medical malpractice defense litigation. Michael also balanced his legal studies with the practice of anesthesiology at a major academic center. There he worked on cases involving complex and critically ill patients and taught residents, fellows, and medical students. Together, Michael utilizes his background and experience as a physician and his understanding of how hospitals operate to best advocate for his clients.
