Emergency Medicine Expert Witness

Consulting & Testifying

    My name is Dr. Joe Bellezzo and I am a Board-Certified Emergency Physician and medical expert witness. The medical world is complex and you need an ally to help make sense of it. Allow me to use my knowledge and expertise in Emergency Medicine to provide an honest, objective, reasoned, and ethical evaluation of the medical proceedings in your case.

     Being an experienced public speaker I have spoken at numerous local, national, and international events and conferences, and I am very comfortable on a stage or in a courtroom. Take a look at my Curriculum Vitae to appreciate the breadth of my speaking experience.

      I have over 20 years experience practicing full-time Emergency Medicine. As Chief-of-Staff Elect at our hospital I am a member of the Medical Executive Committee, the governing body responsible for overseeing quality assurance, peer-review, &  patient safety at the hospital.

    I am also an Emergency Medicine expert witness, hired by plaintiffs and defendants in cases involving emergency department issues. Let me cut through the medical jargon and explain the medical issues in a way that you, your client, and your fact-finder, will understand.
