Medical-Legal Advisory · Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Independent expert review for the cases where the medicine is the question.
Clarus OMS Advisors works with attorneys, healthcare organizations, DSOs, and insurers across the United States — case opinion, deposition testimony, and advisory retainers from a board-certified surgeon.
§ Practice Areas
What we do — and what we do not.
Four lines of advisory work, each grounded in surgical practice and current standards of care. Engagements are independent, fee-disclosed, and constrained to the questions the matter actually turns on.
Case Review & Expert Opinion
Independent review of records, imaging, and operative notes. Written opinion appropriate for plaintiff or defense counsel.
Deposition & Trial Testimony
Sworn opinion at deposition and at trial, with preparation grounded in the specific factual record, not generalities.
Peer Review & Quality Assurance
Internal review for hospital systems, DSOs, and credentialing committees — privileged where applicable.
Advisory Retainers
Ongoing advisory work for insurers, DSOs, and counsel handling recurring OMS volume. Predictable, in-house-feel access.
