Asynchronous file review
Review of medical records and referral materials with a clear clinical chronology, identification of material evidence, and a focused written opinion. Well suited to questions that do not require an in-person examination.
Looking for addiction medicine?
Patient access, low-barrier opioid use disorder care, and addiction-medicine referral information remain at the shared clinic website.
Core service
Independent Medical Review
Careful record synthesis, evidence-based reasoning, and direct answers to the questions that matter to the referring organization.
Medical advisory work
Independent analysis of diagnosis, investigations, treatment, prognosis, function, restrictions, recovery barriers, and return-to-work considerations for insurers, employers, legal professionals, and public organizations.
Selected IME services
Independent medical examinations are considered where a direct assessment adds value. Scope, jurisdiction, records, referral questions, timelines, conflicts, and fees are confirmed before an assignment is accepted.
Proportionate
Attention follows the referral question and the material evidence.
Independent
Conclusions are separated from assumptions, advocacy, and unsupported inference.
Readable
Reports are organized for practical use by clinical and non-clinical readers.
Timely
Asynchronous work allows focused turnaround without avoidable scheduling delay.
Relevant experience
Clinical breadth applied to medical review
A generalist perspective is useful when a file crosses diagnostic categories, contains competing explanations, or must be understood in the context of the whole person and the demands of work.
