How Dr. Gustin Can Help

Dr. Gustin provides Medical Expert Case Screening services to ensure that you have the proper evaluation and support critical to the success of your case.

“When screening a case for merit—whether for the plaintiff or defense—I approach each matter with a meticulous, structured process grounded in medical accuracy and forensic objectivity. My goal is to provide attorneys with a clear, evidence-based understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, and medical viability of their case from the outset. I begin with a comprehensive review of all available records, reports, investigations, interrogatories, depositions, and relevant test results, identifying any inconsistencies, omissions, or red flags that could influence the case outcome.

My screening process is detail-oriented, thorough, and timely ensuring that no critical element is overlooked. I assess causation, standards of care, timelines, and the interplay between medical facts and legal claims. Whether the case involves injury, illness, toxic exposure, impairment, or alleged medical negligence, I provide a complete and honest assessment of its medical merit—flagging unsupported claims just as readily as I highlight compelling, evidence-based arguments.

Timeliness is essential in litigation, and I make it a priority to deliver findings and opinions promptly, so that legal teams can make informed strategic decisions early. I provide definitive, well-reasoned, and impactful opinions, supported by the medical literature and clearly communicated in language accessible to both attorneys and laypersons. My goal is not only to support your case when warranted, but also to help you avoid investing in matters that lack medical foundation—saving time, resources, and credibility in the long run.”
