Anesthesiology expert witness in New York
A New York-licensed, board-certified anesthesiologist, available to plaintiff and defense counsel in anesthesia matters throughout New York State.
Dr. Steudel holds an active New York medical license and is a board-certified, clinically active anesthesiologist trained at Massachusetts General Hospital, where he later served on the Harvard Medical School faculty.
In New York medical malpractice actions, counsel typically consults a physician before filing and certifies that consultation under CPLR 3012-a. Dr. Steudel provides early, candid merit review for that stage, as well as full expert work through trial.
Matters are evaluated against the standard of care applicable at the time and the information available to the treating team, with clear explanations of the physiology and pharmacology involved.
