Psychiatry is the branch of medicine that deals with the causation, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and behavioral disorders.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of mental, addictive, and emotional disorders such as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance-related disorders, sexual and gender-identity disorders, and adjustment disorders. Psychiatrists can counsel patients, prescribe medication, order laboratory tests, perform transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), order neuroimaging, and conduct physical examinations.

After completing residency, many psychiatrists choose to pursue additional specialization through fellowships, focusing on areas such as child and adolescent psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, or forensic psychiatry. These fellowships provide further expertise and experience in specific patient populations or treatment modalities.

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: Comprised of highly experienced paralegals, our case management team listens and acts on client needs. They help you identify the best medical expert candidate in the right clinical focus area and request all medical records related to the case.
  • Deliver the Right Expert: Case managers handle all details of securing the best medical expert witness for a case, including providing resumes and fee schedules and verifying the availability of the selected expert based on case timetables and deadlines.
  • Develop Index of Records: Once the medical expert is engaged, we index all medical records, paving the way for our chronology team to provide a detailed guide in which all supporting information is identified by volume and page number.
  • Dedicated Case Managers: Our experienced paralegal case managers ensure all deadlines are met and play a crucial role in facilitating engagement and ongoing communication between attorneys and experts. They coordinate medical exams, depositions, trial appearances, and other important activities.

IMS streamlines the process of obtaining medical opinions by handling coordination, scheduling, and communication directly with their panel of experts. Gone are the days of unresponsive experts in the face of looming court deadlines.
