Why Choose Dr. Gomer for Your Evaluation?

Dear attorney,

I am very grateful to you for considering me for your medical-legal evaluation. My commitment to you is to adhere to the highest ethical standards in performing my medical-legal evaluations. Medical-legal cases can be very contentious. I appreciate the fact that attorneys are busy professionals, and the last thing they need is to get more work added to their plate due to a poorly written medical-legal report!

Some medical-legal evaluators make the mistake of trying to make both sides happy in a poor or unethical manner. However, our job is to follow the law and use objective standards of evaluation. What is my philosophy for making both sides happy in a highly contentious matter? To explain my reasoning in detail.

Though I am a medical doctor in internal medicine and my main job is to be a primary care doctor to my patients, I still carry with me my philosophical training. My academic background is in philosophy, and I trained to be a philosopher. In philosophy, you must always give your reasoning—and not only that, you must reason very well!

Here are some other things that I do that I think should be standard for all medical-legal evaluations:

I actually read attorney cover letters. Have you, as an attorney, ever received a medical report where the evaluator did not even address your basic questions? I read through and note what was actually requested by attorneys.
I actually write and compose my report. My reasoning and my conclusions are completely from me, and I do not use an editor at all—not even for proofreading typos, as I do that myself! Even if for some reason ghost-writers were allowed, they cannot get inside the mind of a doctor and explain the medical reasoning involved in a conclusion.
I actually use the medical records to build an argument. One must carefully trace the medical issue through prior records and its evolution over time. My reports always include a discussion of the prior medical records so you know what I think of the past medical record.
I actually try to answer all the questions within the scope of my specialty. My training is in internal medicine, which encompasses fields of cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology, infectious disease, oncology, hematology, and sleep medicine.
I actually use the AMA Guides. I frequently refer to tables, criteria, and examples used in the Guides so that my own reasoning reflects the standards set forth in the Guides.

Finally, I provide clear and actionable recommendations in my report. Do we need further labs, imaging, records, or consultations? They are listed in each of my reports, every single time, and the reasoning for those orders is laid out in detail.

My approach to the medical-legal evaluation in a nutshell:

  • Be committed to fairness and objectivity, and do not automatically or by default play favorites with any side.
  • Respect attorneys' time by reading and answering cover letters.
  • Explain my reasoning in detail.

Thank you again for considering me,

Jeremy Gomer, MD, PhD
