Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a physiatrist and why does it matter for medical legal cases?+
A physiatrist is a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation — the evaluation and treatment of conditions affecting muscles, nerves, bones, and the brain's ability to control the body. This specialty is highly relevant to medical legal work because physiatry focuses not just on diagnosis but on function: what a person can and cannot do, and why. That functional focus is exactly what attorneys need in IME, disability, and expert witness contexts.

Yes. Dr. Epstein has conducted independent medical examinations and provided expert testimony for both plaintiff and defense since 1997. All evaluations are objective and independent regardless of the referring party.

In-person IMEs and depositions are available at offices in Scranton, PA and Philadelphia, PA. Virtual depositions are also available.
