We are a group of medical professionals from many medical fields, specializing in providing comprehensive medical record reviews, analyses, expert witnesses and consultations for the determination of personal injury, medical negligence1 and medical malpractice1. Our services are limited to practicing attorneys-at-law and members of the insurance professions dealing with medical malpractice and personal injury. Although some of our medical experts are also practicing attorneys, they do not practice law through this corporation.  All of our medical experts are active within their own medical professions. 

Interested practicing medical professionals, please contact president@ldhpmed.com.  Thank you.

===============

1 Negligence and Malpractice are legal terms.  We deal with deviations from standard medical practices.   True malpractice or negligence is a legal decision.  The term negligence is used within this web site in a common layman meaning to make our information and reports more readable for the public.  In our actual medical reports, the more precise terminology "deviations from standard medical practices" is followed.
