We’re excited to share that Dr. Amy Fogelman was a featured guest on The Expert Witness Playbook with host Dr. Brian Woodruff.
In Episode 13, titled “Beyond the Medical Degree: Experts Share Costly Mistakes,” Dr. Fogelman draws on her experience matching attorneys with medical experts to highlight the business and operational pitfalls that quietly undermine physician success in this field — even for highly credentialed experts.
This is a must-listen for physicians who are ready to treat expert witness work as the professional consulting practice it truly is.
Dr. Fogelman and Dr. Woodruff dive deep into real-world challenges, including:
- Why responsiveness matters more than credentials when attorneys are choosing an expert
- How to preserve and strengthen attorney relationships — even when you decline a case
- The case-tracking mistakes that lead to last-minute trial surprises
- Why conflict checks become more critical as your practice grows
- The “discovery trap” — and how careless email communication can expose your opinions to opposing counsel
- How to set clear billing expectations, use retainers effectively, and avoid financial disputes
Throughout the episode, Dr. Fogelman reframes expert witness work not just as clinical analysis, but as a disciplined consulting practice — one where communication, organization, and business acumen are just as essential as medical expertise.
