What Attorneys Want to Know About Me
Common questions about my background and approach to expert witness work
How is your clinical experience relevant to a record review?
I'm not a retired physician testifying about how medicine used to be practiced. Dr. Gupta maintains an active Pediatric Emergency Medicine practice at Children's Hospital of New Orleans and teaches at LSU Health. A review applies today's standards of care — the same ones in use in current practice.
What makes you qualified to review complex pediatric cases?
I'm dual board-certified in Pediatrics and Pediatric Emergency Medicine, with active clinical practice at Children's Hospital of New Orleans and teaching at LSU Health. My primary focus is pediatric emergency medicine and related acute pediatric issues; when a matter falls outside that scope, I identify the need for additional subspecialist input.
What services do you offer attorneys?
I offer case consultation, independent medical record review, written expert reports, and deposition or trial testimony when a matter requires it. Relevant qualifications and professional experience are shared with counsel after an initial conflict check.
Will you say so if the record does not support the allegations?
Yes. If the medical record does not support the allegations, the preliminary assessment will say so plainly. That is true whichever side asks. My opinions follow the medical evidence and the applicable standard of care, not the party that retained me.
Professional Approach
"Independent pediatric medical analysis rests on three things:a complete review of the record, clear communication, andopinions that do not depend on who is asking."
Every matter receives personal attention. Opinions are medically grounded, consider alternative explanations supported by the record, and are written so the court and a jury can follow them.
Qualifications and professional experience relevant to the matter are provided to counsel following an initial conflict check.
