Attorney questions, answered clearly.
This page is designed to answer the practical questions legal teams often have before sending a surgical matter for perioperative review.
Do you work on both plaintiff and defense matters?
Yes. PCR can support plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, insurers, and healthcare organizations. The practice is positioned as an independent perioperative review service.
What kinds of records are most useful at intake?
Operative notes, intraoperative nursing records, count documentation, anesthesia records, PACU notes, discharge materials, and any available policies or incident-related documentation. If you do not have all of that yet, start with what you have.
When should a firm bring in PCR?
Usually at intake or early active-case stage—especially when the legal question depends on understanding what actually happened in the OR, the surgery center, or the perioperative workflow.
Do you replace a surgeon expert?
No. PCR often helps clarify whether a matter should move toward surgeon review, nursing/perioperative review, or both. The work is complementary, not a substitute for every other expert lane.
What makes perioperative review different from generic record summary?
It is focused on workflow, handoffs, counts, sterility, positioning, continuity, and how the record aligns—or fails to align—with what safe perioperative care should look like.
Can you help with ambulatory surgery center cases?
Yes. Outpatient and ASC workflow is one of the stronger practice lanes for PCR, particularly where turnover pressure, discharge decisions, or cross-team continuity are relevant.
Do you publicly list rates?
No. Scope depends on record volume, timeline urgency, and whether the matter calls for screening, chronology, or broader support. Pricing is handled directly after fit is confirmed.
Can firms outside California use PCR?
Yes. The core work—record review, chronology, and perioperative issue framing—can support legal teams regardless of geography, though case-specific legal rules remain counsel’s responsibility.
How should records be sent?
Start with minimal summary information through ordinary channels. Once fit is confirmed, records should move through a secure workflow. Avoid sending protected health information through unsecured forms or email when possible.
Is testimony the main offering?
No. The core of the brand is review and analysis. Testimony-related support can develop over time, but the public positioning is intentionally centered on screening and perioperative litigation support.
Still deciding whether the case fits?
That is normal. Start with a concise description of the surgical event and current question, and PCR can help determine the right review path.
