Connecting you with prosthetics & orthotics experts.

When your case calls for precise medical expertise, we help you select the best-aligned option from our invitation-only expert panel and provide seamless case support to protect your time and deadlines.

An orthotist creates devices like braces and splints (orthotics) for individuals needing added support for body parts weakened by musculoskeletal or neurological conditions. Orthotics improve biomechanical fusion, encourage proper joint alignment, or protect an existing limb. A prosthetist is a healthcare professional who makes and fits artificial limbs (prostheses) that replace a part of the body. This includes artificial legs and arms for people who have had amputations related to cancer, diabetes, injury, trauma, or missing body parts due to a congenital disorder. Prostheses are intended to augment and restore the normal functions of the missing body part. Prosthetists use the designation CP, or certified prosthetist, to describe their credentials. A medical professional credentialed as an orthotist and a prosthetist is a CPO. Prosthetists and orthotists follow the same general educational path. They both require a master’s degree and a 1-year residency in their chosen field. Professionals certified in both specialties complete an 18-month residency. Some states require orthotists and prosthetists to become licensed.

IMS has specialists in this area of clinical focus, each with the necessary knowledge, experience, and qualifications to serve as an expert witness in your personal injury or medical malpractice case.

Our Medical Expert Witness Process

Remove uncertainty when hiring a medical expert witness. With extensive experience in the legal and medical fields, our team has a deep understanding of the related processes and timeline requirements. We connect clients with pre-vetted medical experts and a dedicated point of contact so the case progresses smoothly.

    • Define the Scope of Work: Our case intake team listens to and promptly acts on client needs. They identify the best medical expert candidates in the right clinical focus area, and based on any other case-related criteria the client may have for selecting an expert.
    • Deliver the Right Expert: Our case intake team then provides resumes and fee schedules to the client so they can select an expert. This team handles all details of securing the chosen expert, including verifying their availability based on case timetables and deadlines.
    • Develop Index of Records: Once the medical expert is engaged, a case manager requests all medical records related to the case. This paves the way for our chronology team to index the records and provide a detailed guide for the expert, in which all supporting information is identified by volume and page number.
    • Deploy Dedicated Case Managers: Our experienced paralegal case managers ensure all deadlines are met and play a crucial role in facilitating ongoing communication between attorneys and experts. They coordinate medical exams, depositions, trial appearances, and other important activities.

    The case managers are professional and considerate. They simplify the process of communicating with counsel and coordinating expert testimony. Having worked with other sourcing agencies in the past, I would choose IMS every time if given the option.
