About Our Company
ExpertMD has been hired by counsel to represent: plaintiffs; defendants; and, we have provided testimony in other medical legal cases that are not med-mal related. Our first case was a missed appendicitis in a retarded girl where we reviewed the records for the plaintiff back in 1982. We specialize in experimental drug study negligent errors that are associated with harm to research subject volunteers. Our opinions have never been rejected by a Court.

ExpertMD is unique in that Dr. Saponaro is board certified in medical research, we conduct experimental drug studies, and, we teach medical research. We helped author a board certification exam given by the APPI in medical research. We also have a board certified dentist on our team to review negligent dental care.
