In many cases, Dr. Seiler is called to evaluate a patient complaint. These complaints usually are in regard to complications and/or burns from laser or other energy-based device procedures, or complications related to injectable treatments.
Dr. Seiler will assist attorneys and/or state medical board representatives to help determine:
- What standard of care statutes and state medicals laws pertain to the case (laser, energy-based device or injection)
- What device(s) can legally be used by the practitioner (physician or non-physician)
- Proper levels of training required for a practitioner to perform the procedure
- What level of supervision a non-physician must have in order to perform the procedure safely
Dr. Seiler will provide information specific to:
- The type(s) of condition treated, procedure and device used and treatment parameters
- Proper pre- and post-treatment protocols per procedure and device
- Patient information (which types of patients and/or conditions are good candidates for the procedure)
- Side effects and complications
- What should and should not happen before, during and after the course of treatment
Dr. Seiler also will provide counsel, literature and additional medical references to support his advice and or statements regarding standard of care issues (i.e., typical results from procedure in question, risks vs. benefits, common or expected side effects or complications, rare or unexpected side effects or complications, proper device use and settings, etc.). He will educate the attorney and/or state medical board representatives to whatever degree necessary to achieve the best possible case outcome, which may include determining misdoing, negligence, malpractice or non-adherence to stand and/or country-wide standard of care statutes and applicable state medical laws. Additionally, Dr. Seiler will help determine what the opposing side may discuss, and will provide insight as to the legitimacy of such topics.
Dr. Seiler’s work may range from simple review of documented material, independent medical examination (IME) or providing an opinion on the legitimacy of the case to extensive case work, affidavits, depositions and trial involvement.
