Forensic Medicine
Hundreds of cases evaluated through medical record review and independent medical evaluation. Extensive forensic experience in state and federal courts and administrative hearings.
Forensic medicine applies clinical expertise to legal and administrative proceedings. Dr. Bernton has evaluated hundreds of cases through medical record review and independent medical examination, providing clear, evidence-based opinions for attorneys, insurers, and administrative bodies in both state and federal jurisdictions.
Independent medical examinations require a physician who can objectively assess a patient's condition, review the full medical record, and provide opinions on diagnosis, causation, treatment appropriateness, and impairment. Dr. Bernton's dual board certification in Internal Medicine and Occupational Medicine, combined with decades of clinical experience, enables thorough and defensible evaluations across a wide range of case types.
Dr. Bernton has extensive experience providing expert testimony in state and federal courts, administrative hearings, and workers' compensation proceedings. His forensic work covers medical causation disputes, treatment reasonableness and necessity, permanent impairment ratings, and fitness-for-duty assessments. Reports and testimony are grounded in clinical evidence, established guidelines, and objective diagnostic findings.
